Coating of TiB2 dispersed Ti50Ni50 superelastic alloy layer onto Ti-6Al-4V alloy by spark and resistance sintering

The spark and resistance sintering (SRS) of a mixture of Ti, Ni, and TiB₂ powders was carried out to form a TiB₂ dispersed TiNi alloy layer onto a Ti-6Al-4V alloy substrate. The strength and delamination resistance of the surface layer were evaluated by three-point bending tests. The results showed that the bending strength of the specimen with the TiNi alloy surface layer without TiB₂ particles sintered at 1273 K was low because the crack initiation occurred at an early stage of loading in a thick interface layer containing brittle Ti-Ti₂Ni eutectic. By decreasing the sintering temperature to 1200 K, the bending strength increased and the crack initiation occurred from the surface because the interface layer was thin and did not contain the brittle Ti-Ti₂Ni eutectic. For the specimens with TiB₂ dispersed TiNi surface layer that was sintered at 1273 K, the bending strength was larger than that of the specimens with TiNi surface layer because the interface layer does not contain the Ti-Ti₂Ni eutectic and compressive residual stress generated in the surface layer during cooling process after SRS suppresses the crack initiation on the surface. The coating of TiB₂ dispersed TiNi alloy onto titanium alloys by SRS provides strong interface to prevent delamination of the surface layer, strong surface due to residual compressive stress, and wear-resistant surface due to the existence of hard TiB₂ particles and superelastic deformation of TiNi matrix.     

Hydrogen diffusion and the effect of hydrogen on structural transformations in binary TiNi based alloys

The paper analyzes the effect of electrolytic hydrogenation on martensite transformation temperatures in binary TiNi alloys. The analysis shows that this effect can be strong or weak depending on the phase state of TiNi. Research data are presented on the diffusivity of hydrogen in binary TiNi alloys in martensite and austenite states. The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen is estimated from its distribution measured by glow discharge spectroscopy in TiNi after hydrogenation. The experimental results about the formation of TiNiH hydride in the martensitic and austenitic state in binary TiNi based alloys are also presented.     

Synthesis and hydriding/dehydriding properties of Mg2Ni-AB (AB = TiNi or TiFe) nanocomposites

Mg₂Ni-TiFe and Mg₂Ni-TiNi nanocomposites were prepared by milling for a short time of two preliminary milled to a nanocrystalline state hydrogen absorbing phases, Mg₂Ni and TiFe or Mg₂Ni and TiNi. The milling results in a sufficient density of contacts between the fine powder particles with different composition. The presence of a large amount of such inter-particles contacts leads to lowering of the initial temperature of the composites gas phase hydriding, as in the same time the temperature range of hydriding is enlarged, compared to the composites components.On the grounds of the proved low temperature hydriding (≤200 °C) of the nanocomposites, taking place with appropriate kinetics, the possibility for improved electrochemical hydriding was checked, exploiting the idea for charging Mg₂Ni particles through the contacts with TiFe/TiNi. In this way we are supposed to achieve more complete electrochemical hydriding of the Mg₂Ni particles, which are usually only superficially hydrogenated at room temperature, mainly due to the low diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the Mg₂Ni crystal lattice and corrosion processes in strong alkaline solutions. The achieved discharge capacity for the Mg₂Ni-TiFe composite is essentially higher compared to that of the mechanical mixture of the two composite’s components.

Transformation of the TiNi Alloy Microstructure and the Mechanical Properties Caused by Repeated B2-B19′ Martensitic Transformations

The influences of thermal cycling treatment in the temperature range of B2-B19 martensitic transformations (-150 to 150 °C) on the TiNi alloy structure and properties were studied. Different states named the initial coarse-grained (CG) state, the ultrafine-grained (UFG) state after ECAP (with a grain size of 200 nm), the state after ECAP and cold upsetting by 30% were considered. The results show that the microhardness and the strength increase in all the three states. According to the XRD analysis, a more significant increment in the dislocation density, resulting from thermal cycling, is observed in the UFG alloy than in the CG alloy.     

Corrosion behavior and surface characterization of tantalum implanted TiNi alloy

TiNi shape memory alloy has been modified by Ta plasma immersion ion implantation technology to improve corrosion resistance. The results of the polarization tests show that the corrosion resistance of TiNi alloy in Ringer's solution at 310 K has been improved by the Ta ion implantation and the Ta/TiNi sample with a moderate incident dose of 1.5 × 10¹⁷ ions/cm² exhibits the best corrosion resistance ability. The surface characterization and chemical composition of the Ta/TiNi samples were determined by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. AFM images reveal that compact aggregates of nano-grains uniformly disperse on the surface of the Ta/TiNi samples. AES and XPS analyses on the Ta/TiNi sample show that the component of the surface layer is mainly composed of TiO₂ and Ta₂O₅, which is benefit to the corrosion resistance ability and biocompatibility.
