Shape memory alloys (SMA) are smart materials that present potential applications in such diverse areas as aeronautics, automotive, electronics, biomedicine and others. This work aimed at comparing some physical and functional properties of a Ni-Ti-Cu and equiatomic Ni-Ti SMA. Therefore, Ni-50Ti and Ni-50Ti-5Cu (at.%) were manufactured using plasma melting followed by injection in metallic mold, named Plasma Skull Push-Pull (PSPP) process. Afterwards, samples of both Ni-Ti based SMA were annealed at 1113 K during 2400 s and water quenched. The obtained specimens were analyzed by optical microscopy, microhardness, differential scanning calorimetry, electrical resistance as a function of temperature, and force generation tests. The results showed that Ni-Ti alloy presented higher levels of hardness and lower generated recover forces during heating when compared to the Ni-Ti-Cu SMA. Moreover, the Ni-Ti alloy holds hysteresis larger than the Ni-Ti-Cu SMA as a result of the presence of the R-phase transformation. There was also a better stability under thermal cycling of NiTiCu SMA compared with the equiatomic NiTi. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
