The application provides a low-temperature narrow
hysteresis SMA spring and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of
fluid control; the method comprises the following steps: 1) winding SMA
alloy wires into SMA
alloy wire coils after pretreatment; 2) after the SMA
alloy wire coils are installed on a spring
winding machine, the spring
winding machine is started, and the SMA alloy wires are transported to a preheating area for preheating; 3) the preheated SMA alloy wires are transported to a disc wheel
processing area, and SMA spring winding production is carried out according to preset length and shape under the condition that the winding forming temperature is Af+120 DEG C to Af+240 DEG C; and 4) the SMA spring produced by the spring
winding machine is sequentially subjected to
solid solution treatment and aging treatment, and the low-temperature narrow
hysteresis SMA spring is prepared. The SMA spring prepared by the application has uniformly distributed Ni4Ti3 precipitated phases in the
microstructure under the action of the hot winding process and the heat treatment process, the
thermal hysteresis Af-Rs of the SMA spring is less than or equal to 2 DEG C, the low-temperature narrow
hysteresis effect is realized, and therefore the SMA spring can be applied in a low-temperature environment of 0-5 DEG C.
