Nickel Titanium and Nickel Titanium Hafnium Shape Memory Alloy thin films

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) coatings of NiTi and NiTiHf have been deposited onto Si substrates using pulse DC sputtering. Coatings of NiTi with compositions containing 45 to 65 at% Ti have been fabricated by co-sputtering NiTi with Ti. NiTiHf coatings with Hf compositions ranging from 2 to 30 at% Hf have been fabricated by co-sputtering NiTi with Hf. XRD results reveal the as-deposited coatings ...

Martensite Strain Memory in the Shape Memory Alloy Nickel-Titanium Under Mechanical Cycling

This paper describes an experimental study of stress-induced martensitic phase transformation in the SMA Nickel-Titanium. The rich local thermo-mechanical interactions that underlie transformation are examined using three-dimensional Digital Image Correlation (strain fields) and infrared imaging (thermal fields). We quantify the complex local interactions between released/absorbed latent heat a...

Evaluation of Biocompatibility for Titanium-Nickel Shape Memory Alloy in Vivo and in Vitro Environments

This study was conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of titanium-nickel shape memory alloy used as a medical implant material. The authors carried out the following electrochemical corrosion test and in vivo and in vitro biological tests for the alloy and some metal and alloys clinically used previously to compare the intensities concerned with the biological reactions, that is, (1) anodic...

Improved adhesion between nickel–titanium shape memory alloy and a polymer matrix via silane coupling agents

NiTi wires were functionalized with silane coupling agents to improve interfacial adhesion between the inorganic constituent and a host matrix for composite applications. Surface derivatization was characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and mechanical pullout tests were performed to quantify the increase in adhesion between the NiTi shape memory alloy wires and polymer matrix. Impro...

Nickel-titanium: options and challenges.

The introduction of nickel-titanium (NiTi) as material for endodontic instruments about 15 years ago opened many new perspectives. Many dentists and scientists see a benefit in using NiFi files. Initial problems such as frequent fractures and the uncertainty of the best way to use them have been solved. Other challenges such as enhancing the cutting ability or optimizing the speed, torque, and ...
