Precipitation and Thermal Fatigue in Ni-Ti-Zr Shape Memory Alloy Thin Films by Combinatorial nanoCalorimetry
Thin-film samples of Ni-Ti-Zr shape memory alloys were studied by combinatorial nanocalorimetry to determine the effects of high-temperature (900°C) heat treatments and lowtemperature (450°C) thermal cycling on the characteristics of the martensite transformation. The response of the samples to heat treatments depends on composition and is controlled by a precipitation mechanism. Two precipitat...
متن کاملEffects of Cu on the microstructural and mechanical properties of sputter deposited Ni-Ti thin films
The microstructure of sputter deposited Ti-rich Ni-Ti thin films doped with Cu in the range 020.4 at.% and annealed for 1 h at 500 and 600°C has been investigated and correlated with the mechanical properties of the films measured by depth-sensing nanoindentation. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the microstructural evolution of Ni-Ti thin films when doped with Cu and annealed at different tem...
متن کاملLaser Annealing of Amorphous Ni-Ti Shape Memory Alloy Thin Films
Shape memory alloy (SMA) thin films, especially those based on Ni-Ti, have received considerable attention since it was demonstrated that they can undergo a nearly perfect shape memory effect [1-7]. When SMA films are used as actuators in MEMS devices, biasing springs are generally needed to restore the initial state in order to achieve a twoway shape memory effect. As a result, use of SMA actu...
متن کاملExperimental investigations on the nanomechanical properties of sputter deposited Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory thin films
NiMnGa thin films were dc magnetron sputter deposited onto well cleaned substrates of Si(100) and glass in high pure argon environment of vacuum 0.01 mbar at low sputtering power of 36W and their mechanical properties were investigated by nanoindentation technique using calibrated Berkovich indenter. Results reveal that the films posses elasto-plastic nature. The elastic modulus of the films wa...
متن کاملPhysical Properties of Reactively Sputter-Deposited C-N Thin Films
This work aims to prepare and study amorphous carbon nitride (CNx) films. Films were deposited by reactive magnetron radiofrequency (RF) sputtering from graphite target in argon and nitrogen mixture discharge at room temperature. The ratio of the gas flow rate was varied from 0.1 to 1. Deposited films were found to be amorphous. Highest Nitrogen concentration achieved was 42 atomic percent whic...
