Kapusta, Akito Takasaki Abstract: An FeaMnaSi bulk alloy was produced from elemental powders by mechanical alloying (MA) and subsequent sintering. The shape memory effect, microstructure and mechanical property of the bulk alloy were investigated. The [alpha] phase transformed into the [gamma] phase during MA. The MA played an essential role in stabilizing the [gamma] phase, which is associated with the shape memory effect in this alloy system. The [gamma] phase with small amounts of I[micro] and [alpha]' martensitic phases formed after subsequent sintering. After deformation, a [gamma][right arrow]I[micro] stress-induced martensitic phase transformation occurred. Shape recovery was observed after subsequent heating, associated with an I[micro][right arrow][gamma] reverse martensitic transformation. The grain size of the bulk alloy was about 2-3[mu]m, and the yield strength was about 500MPa. These results show that powder metallurgy, a combination of MA and subsequent sintering, has the potential to produce Fe-Mn-Si shape memory alloy.
