Tangent rule was applied to determine the transformation temperature from displacement-temperature loop plot by computer in each thermal-cold cycle. The results is as follows the transformation temperature increases and shape memory property decrease with increasing load, which leads the action temperature of component to be abnormal, and the memory property decreases after overheating aging, and the memory property decreases with increasing cycle times, while the decreasing is not obvious and the recovery ratio is higher than 90% in one thousand times. It is due to the addition of corium Re which has the function of grain refinement. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid overloading and overheating in the application of such component. Thus, a kind of thermo valve that works at normal pressure and in the water as working substance was designed to replace complicate original electromechanical system.展开更多
