Shape memory and superelasticity in polycrystalline Cu-Al-Ni microwires
We report a strategy to significantly improve the ductility and achieve large superelastic and shape memory strains in polycrystalline Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys that are normally brittle. We use a liquid-phase (Taylor) wire forming process to obtain microwires of 10-150 μm diameter with a bamboo...
