METHOD OF CONTROLLING FORMING AND RECOVERING DRIVEN ELEMENT FROM ALLOYS WITH MEMORY USED AS ACTUATOR

摘要

FIELD: process engineering.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building and may be used in various hardware with actuators driven by elements from alloy with memory. Driven elements are formed in martensitic state caused by longitudinal force acting till loss of stability, subjected to heating to austenitic state and cooled don to martensitic state. Note here that straining is selected to allow complete recovery of initial state in subsequent heating.;EFFECT: higher energy-conversion efficiency, expanded performances.;1 tbl
