NiTi-based shape memory alloys and the Ti2AlNb alloy have gained increasing importance in aerospace field. The joining of these two materials can further increment usage relevant engineering expand their potential applications. However, when to Ti-based alloys, formation brittle Ti-rich intermetallic compounds often occurs, significantly limiting functionality use. Dissimilar joints between a N...

This study investigated the deformation effects of the interface between conventionally produced stainless steel X2crNi 19 11 and HIPed NiTI coating (Hot Isostatic Pressed). Near-equiatomic nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi) has many attractive material properties, such as pseudo-elasticity and shape memory effects, which result into beneficial engineering properties e.g. as cavitation resistant coat...

Nickel–titanium (NiTi) is a shape-memory alloy, type of material whose name derived from its ability to recover original shape upon heating certain temperature. NiTi falls under the umbrella metallic materials, offering high superelasticity, acceptable corrosion resistance, relatively low elastic modulus, and desirable biocompatibility. There are several challenges regarding processing machinab...

Nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape-memory alloys (SMAs) have been used in the manufacture of orthodontic wires due to their shape memory properties, super-elasticity, high ductility, and resistance to corrosion. SMAs have greater strength and lower modulus of elasticity when compared with stainless steel alloys. The pseudoelastic behavior of NiTi wires means that on unloading they return to their ori...

Tubular continuum robots, which are composed of multiple concentric, precurved, elastic tubes, provide more dexterity than traditional surgical instruments at the same diameter. The tubes can be precurved such that the resulting manipulator fulfills surgical task requirements. Up to now the only material used for the component tubes of those manipulators is NiTi, a superelastic shape-memory all...

NiTi alloy has been used as the raw material for making endodontic files. The interest in NiTi instrument research has not waned with time. In fact, there is a renewed interest in this field, notably through the application of modern research tools and techniques from other fields, making it a truly cross-disciplinary area of research. In 1988, Walia and colleagues introduced nickeltitanium (Ni...

Since the introduction of nickel titanium (NiTi) to field endodontics, it paved way for fast and reliable root canal instrumentation. Rotary instruments are solely manufactured from NiTi alloy, due its favorable mechanical physical properties such as flexibility cutting efficiency. The main problem with rotary is their high fatigue susceptibility, unexpected incident instrument separation insid...
