Abstract
The shape recovery properties of an Fe-Mn-Si-Cr-Ni-Co based alloy were studied using compression tests. Analyzed were the elastic recovery (Er), shape recovery (Sr) and total shape recovery (TSR = Er + Sr) measurements as a function of training cycles. The results indicated that 3.3 was the best ratio between height (ho = 20 mm) and diameter (φo = 6 mm) to obtain a homogeneous deformation and defined loading curves. A major contribution of TSR was attributed to shape recovery. In the last training cycle, a TSR = 90% was obtained where 25% was attributed to Er.
