In this paper high-temperature shape memory alloys based on TiPd and TiPt are reviewed. The effect of the alloying elements in ternary TiPd and TiPt alloys on phase transformation and strain recovery is also discussed. Generally, the addition of alloying elements decreases the martensitic transformation temperature and improves the strength of the martensite and austenite phases. Additionally, it also decreases irrecoverable strain, but without perfect recovery due to plastic deformation. With the aim to improve the strength of high-temperature shape memory alloys, multi-component alloys, including medium- and high-entropy alloys, have been investigated and proposed as new structural materials. Notably, it was discovered that the martensitic transformation temperature could be controlled through a combination of the constituent elements and alloys with high austenite finish temperatures above 500 °C. The irrecoverable strain decreased in the multi-component alloys compared with the ternary alloys. The repeated thermal cyclic test was effective toward obtaining perfect strain recoveries in multi-component alloys, which could be good candidates for high-temperature shape memory alloys.

As new generation of high-temperature shape memory alloys, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have been attracted for strong solid-solution hardened alloys due to their severe lattice distortion and sluggish diffusion. TiPd is the one potential high-temperature shape memory alloys because of its high martensitic transformation temperature above 500 °C. As constituent elements, Zr expected solid-solution hardening, Pt expected increase of transformation temperature, Au expected keeping transformation temperature, and Co expected not to form harmful phase. By changing the alloy composition slightly, two HEAs and two medium entropy alloys (MEAs) were prepared. Only two MEAs, Ti45Zr5Pd25Pt20Au5, and Ti45Zr5Pd25Pt20Co5 had the martensitic transformation. The perfect recovery was obtained in Ti45Zr5Pd25Pt20Co5 during the repeated thermal cyclic test, training, under 200 MPa. On the other hand, the small irrecoverable strain was remained in Ti45Zr5Pd25Pt20Au5 during the training under 150 MPa because of the small solid-solution hardening effect. It indicates that Ti45Zr5Pd25Pt20Co5 is the one possible HT-SMA working between 342 and 450 °C.

A strong need exists to develop new kinds of high-temperature shape-memory alloys. In this study, two series of CoNiGa alloys with different compositions have been studied to investigate their potentials as high-temperature shape-memory alloys, with regard to their microstructure, crystal structure, and martensitic transformation behavior. Optical observations and X-ray diffractions confirmed that single martensite phase was present for low cobalt samples, and dual phases containing martensite and γ phase were present for high cobalt samples. It was also found that CoNiGa alloys in this study exhibit austenitic transformation temperatures higher than 340°C, showing their great potentials for developing as high-temperature shape-memory alloys.

The stability of shape memory properties was investigated by thermal cycling tests in Ti-23Ta-(2-4)Sn alloys. The martensitic transformation temperature decreased considerably after aging at 573 K for the Ti-23Ta-2Sn alloy. The decrease in the martensitic transformation temperature by the aging effect was suppressed by the addition of 3at.%Sn and more to the Ti-23Ta alloy. The Ti-23Ta-3Sn alloy exhibited better cyclic stability compared with a Ti-32Ta alloy which has a similar transformation temperature.

NiMnSn ferromagnetic shape memory alloys exhibit martensitic transformation at low temperatures, restricting their applications. Therefore, this is a key factor in improving the martensitic transformation temperature, which is effectively carried out by proper element doping. In this research, we investigated the martensitic transformation and magnetic properties of Ni43Mn46-x SmxSn11 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) alloys on the basis of structural and magnetic measurements. X-ray diffraction showed that the crystal structure transforms from the cubic L21 to the orthorhombic martensite and gamma (γ) phases. The reverse martensitic and martensitic transformations were indicated by exothermic and endothermic peaks in differential scanning calorimetry. The martensitic transformation temperature increased considerably with Sm doping and exceeded room temperature for Sm = 3 at. %. The Ni43Mn45SmSn11 alloy exhibited magnetostructural transformation, leading to a large magnetocaloric effect near room temperature. The existence of thermal hysteresis and the metamagnetic behavior of Ni43Mn45SmSn11 confirm the first-order magnetostructural transition. The magnetic entropy change reached 20 J·kg−1·K−1 at 266 K, and the refrigeration capacity reached ~162 J·Kg−1, for Ni43Mn45SmSn11 under a magnetic field variation of 0–5 T.
