Abstract

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are types of materials that can restore their original shape upon severe or quasi-plastic deformation, being exposed to specific external stimuli, including heating, electric current, magnetic field, etc. They are a category of functional materials that provides superelasticity as a significant material property. The roots of this unintentional discovery were in the 20th century, and later it attracted the attention of various industries, including aerospace, medical, mechanical, manufacturing industries, etc. Later developments mainly focused on improving the properties of these materials. One of the ways in which this is achieved is the application of intensive plastic strains on SMAs through severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods, leading to extreme grain refinement. Superelasticity is a key characteristic of SMAs and is known as the capacity of a polycrystalline material to display extremely high elongations before failure, in a typically isotropic way, with an approximate strain rate of 0.5. Utilization of SPD techniques can also affect and lead to superior superelasticity responses in SMAs. Several SPD methodologies have been introduced over the decades, to produce ultrafine-grained and even nanostructured materials, including constrained groove pressing, equal-channel angular pressing, high-speed high-pressure torsion, accumulative roll bonding, etc. This paper aims to present a clear view of the mechanical properties and microstructure evolution of shape memory alloys after processing by some SPD methods, and to show that SPD methods can be a great option for developing SMAs and expanding their industrial and technological applications.
