Abstract

The study of shape memory alloys (SMAs) is widely spread in academic and industrial circles due to a large number of applications. In this context, understanding their critical phase transformation temperatures to use as actuators or sensors requires analysis by consolidated techniques, such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). In this work, an experimental testing platform was developed as an alternative, whose function is to determine these phase transformation temperatures of SMAs through the electromechanical impedance (EMI) using piezoelectric sensors attached to the surface of the SMA samples. This equipment submits the PZT + SMA heterostructures to controlled thermal cycling and presents the electromechanical impedance magnitude and phase angle curves as real-time responses. To validate and survey the operational limits of the equipment, tests were performed on NiTi, and NiTiNb SMA samples, whose transformation temperatures obtained by EMI were compared with those obtained by DSC. The results showed considerable similarity compared to those by DSC. This way, an infrastructure that allows for a deeper study of the process was obtained, also promoting the optimization of the test parameters for the most diverse materials.
