The influence of laser welding parameters on the microstructure and mechanical property of the as-jointed NiTi alloy wires

The Nd:YAG laser welding was used to join the binary NiTi alloy wires with different compositions(Ti-50.0 at.%Ni and Ti-50.9 at.%Ni) which had the same diameter of 1 mm. The wires were welded with different parameters, including impulse width and welding current. The aim was to assess the influence of the laser-welding process on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joint of binary NiTi wires. The optical microscopy (OM) and the metallographic microscopy (MM) were used to analyze the microstructure of the welded joints. The tensile test and the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were carried out to examine the ultimate tensile strength and the reverse martensitic transformation temperatures of the welded joints. It was found that the welding current and the impulse width had great influence on the quality of the welded joints, an optimal parameter combination would remove the pores and micro-cracks appeared in the fusion zone, and result in good mechanical properties such as higher fracture strength and elongation. The laser welding had a few effect on the reverse martensitic transformation temperatures of the welded joints.

Deformation characteristics of the intermetallic alloy 60NiTi

The deformation behavior of a Ni-rich Ni₅₅Ti₄₅ (at.%) alloy, commonly known as 60NiTi (as designated in wt.%), was analyzed using neutron and synchrotron x-ray diffraction during in situ isothermal tension and compression loading, and pre and post-test electron microscopy. The alloy was shown to exhibit remarkable strength and high hardness resulting from a high density of fine Ni₄Ti₃ precipitates (size ∼67 nm), which were uniformly dispersed throughout the matrix after a solution treatment and oil quench. The precipitate volume fraction was 55 ± 3%, determined from both the neutron Rietveld refinement and conventional x-ray measurements. Non-linear stress-strain behavior was observed in tension (but not in compression) and was attributed to reversible stress-induced martensite (SIM) that forms to accommodate the stress as revealed by neutron diffraction measurements. The tensile and compressive neutron data also showed peak broadening and residual lattice strains. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy revealed stress-induced coarsening of Ni₄Ti₃ precipitates in both tension and compression tested samples, but precipitation and growth of the stable Ni₃Ti phase was observed only after tensile testing. Finally, the potential ramifications of these microstructural changes are discussed.

Structural, electrical and mechanical properties of magnetron sputtered NiTi/PZT/TiOx thin film heterostructures

Shape memory alloy (NiTi) thin films coupled to ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) produce an intelligent material capable of performing both sensing and actuating functions. In the present study, we report on the in-situ growth of NiTi/PZT/TiO_x heterostructure on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates using magnetron sputtering technique. Deposition processing, microstructure, surface morphology, electrical properties and mechanical properties of these heterostructures were systematically investigated. The top NiTi films exhibit austenitic B2 structure with preferred (110) orientation. The varying thickness of NiTi films had a significant influence on properties of NiTi/PZT/TiO_x heterostructure. The bottom TiO_x layer was observed to favor the growth of perovskite PZT films with (100) orientation. Nanoindentation tests of these heterostructures were performed at room temperature. The mechanical hardness of the top NiTi layer of lower thickness was found to be highly influenced by underneath PZT layer. The heterostructure exhibited an interesting martensite to austenite phase transformation and polarization-electric field hysteresis behavior with remanent polarization (P_r) and the coercive field (E_r) of 17.1 μC/cm² and 69.6 kV/cm, respectively. These heterostructures having a layer of SMA material coupled to a ferroelectric material with underneath TiO_x layer are of immense technological importance for MEMS devices.
