Crystallization of amorphous NiTi shape memory alloy fabricated by severe plastic deformation

Based on the local canning compression, severe plastic deformation (SPD) is able to lead to the almost complete amorphous nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi SMA), in which a small amount of retained nanocrystalline phase is embedded in the amorphous matrix. Crystallization of amorphous NiTi alloy annealed at 573, 723 and 873 K was investigated, respectively. The crystallization kinetics of the amorphous NiTi alloy can be mathematically described by the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation. NiTi SMA with a complete nanocrystalline phase is obtained in the case of annealing at 573 K and 723 K, where martensite phase transformation is suppressed due to the constraint of the grain boundaries. Crystallization of amorphous NiTi alloy at 873 K leads to the coarse-grained NiTi sample, where (001) martensite compound twin is observed at room temperature. It can be found that the martensitic twins preferentially nucleate at the grain boundary and they grow up towards the two different grains. SPD based on the local canning compression and subsequent annealing provides a new approach to obtain the nanocrystalline NiTi SMA.     

Electrochemical behavior of YAG laser-welded NiTi shape memory alloy

Electrochemical behaviors of laser-welded Ti-50.6%Ni（mole fraction） shape memory alloy and the base metal in 0.9% NaCl solution were investigated by electrochemical techniques as corrosion potential measurement, linear and potentiodynamic polarization. The results indicate that the laser-welded NiTi alloy is less susceptible to pitting and crevice corrosion than the base metal, which is demonstrated by the increase in polarization resistance（Rp） and pitting potential（φpit） and decrease in corrosion current density（Jcorr） and mean difference between φpit and φprot values. It is confirmed by scanning electron microscope micrographs that pits could be observed on the surface of base metal but not on the surface of laser-welded alloy after potentiodynamic tests. An improvement of corrosion resistance of laser-welded NiTi alloy could be attributed to almost complete dissolution of inclusions upon laser welding.

Influence of Fe addition on phase transformation behavior of NiTi shape memory alloy

Three different NiTi-based alloys, whose nominal compositions were Ni₅₀Ti₅₀, Ni₄₉Ti₄₉Fe₂, Ni₄₅Ti_51.8Fe_3.2 (mole fraction, %), respectively, were used in the current research to understand the influence of Fe addition on phase transformation behavior in NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA). The microstructure and phase transformation behavior of the alloys were investigated by optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The results show that the matrix of the Ni₅₀Ti₅₀ alloy consists of both B19′ (martensite) phase and B2 (austenite) phase. Moreover, the substructures of twins could be observed in the B19′ phase. However, the ternary alloys of NiTiFe exhibit B2 phase in the microstructures. Such microstructures were also characterized by large presence of Ti₂Ni precipitates dispersed homogenously in the matrix of the two kinds of alloys. The addition of Fe to the NiTi SMA results in the decrease in phase transformation temperatures in the ternary alloys. Based on mechanism analysis, it can be concluded that this phenomenon is primarily attributed to atom relaxation of the distorted lattice induced by Ni-antisite defects and Fe substitutions during phase transformation, which enables stabilization of B2 phase during phase transformation.     

镍钛形状记忆合金在局部包套压缩下的塑性屈服

作为一种崭新的尝试,局部包套压缩被应用于实现镍钛形状记忆合金在室温下的大塑性变形。基于主应力法和塑性屈服准则,分析了镍钛形状记忆合金局部包套的压缩塑性力学。采用透射电镜、高分辨透射电镜和扫描电镜研究镍钛形状记忆合金在局部包套压缩下的显微组织演变和变形行为。静水压力随着包套外径的增加而增加,有效地抑制了显微裂纹的萌生和扩展,有助于提高镍钛形状记忆合金的塑性,避免了脆性断裂的发生。在0．15～0．50的真实应变范围内,镍钛形状记忆合金在三向压应力状态下的塑性变形满足密席斯塑性屈服准则。在更大的塑性应变下,由于非晶相的出现,镍钛合金不能满足密席斯塑性屈服准则。     

基于变温度场的镍钛形状记忆合金管滚珠旋压有限元模拟(英文)

Phase transformation behaviours of Ti-Ni-Cu shape memory alloy powders fabricated by mechanical alloying

In our research, Ti-Ni and Ti-Ni-Cu alloy powders were fabricated by mechanical alloying, and then phase transformation behaviours were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The size of the Ti-Ni-Cu alloy powders decreased as Cu-content increased. The powders of as-milled Ti-Ni and Ti-Ni-Cu alloys with Cucontents less than 5at.% were amorphous, whereas those of as-milled Ti-Ni-Cu alloys with Cu-content more than 10at.% were crystalline. These characteristics indicate that Cu addition tends to suppress amorphization of Ti-Ni based alloy powders. The monoclinic B19’ martensite is formed in the Ti-Ni-Cu alloy powders with Cu-content less than 10 at.%, whereas the orthorhombic B19 martensite is formed in the Yi-Ni-Cu alloy powders Cu-content more than 10 at.%. The Fe contamination is reduced by decreasing rotation speed from 350 rpm to 250 rpm.

Equal channel angular extrusion of NiTi shape memory alloy tube

As a new attempt, equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) of nickel–titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi SMA) tube was investigated by means of process experiment, finite element method (FEM) and microscopy. NiTi SMA tube with the steel core in it was inserted into the steel can during ECAE of NiTi SMA tube. Based on rigid-viscoplastic FEM, multiple coupled boundary conditions and multiple constitutive models were used for finite element simulation of ECAE of NiTi SMA tube, where the effective stress field, the effective strain field and the velocity field were obtained. Finite element simulation results are in good accordance with the experimental ones. Finite element simulation results reveal that the velocity field shows the minimum value in the corner of NiTi SMA tube, where severe shear deformation occurs. Microstructural observation results reveal that severe plastic deformation leads to a certain grain orientation as well as occurrence of substructures in the grain interior and dynamic recovery occurs during ECAE of NiTi SMA tube. ECAE of NiTi SMA tube provides a new approach to manufacturing ultrafine-grained NiTi SMA tube.     

Surface treatment of NiTi shape memory alloy by modified advanced oxidation process

A modified advanced oxidation process(AOP) utilizing a UV/electrochemically-generated peroxide system was used to fabricate titania films on chemically polished NiTi shape memory alloy(SMA). The microstructure and biomedical properties of the film were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICPMS), hemolysis analysis, and blood platelet adhesion test. It is found that the modified AOP has a high processing effectiveness and can result in the formation of a dense titania film with a Ni-free zone near its top surface. In comparison, Ni can still be detected on the outer NiTi surface by the conventional AOP using the UV/H2O2 system. The depth profiles of O, Ni, Ti show that the film possesses a smooth graded interface structure next to the NiTi substrate and this structure enhances the mechanical stability of titania film. The titania film can dramatically reduce toxic Ni ion release and also improve the hemolysis resistance and thromboresistance of biomedical NiTi SMA.
