Abstract
Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are widely utilized in numerous industrial applications nowadays. Significant attention has been given to Fe-based SMA in civil engineering applications due to their high strength and reasonable cost. Researchers are striving to improve the corrosion resistance of these alloys so they can be utilized in marine environments. This article focuses on the effect of Gd, V, and Y alloying on FeMnNiAl based SMA. The phases and morphological effects were characterized using X-Ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). To examine the corrosive nature of the Fe-based SMA system, a potentiodynamic analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests were performed in 3.5% NaCl solution. Results show that the addition of Gd rare earth metal has improved the overall corrosion efficiency of Fe-based SMAs by 48%.
