The Research of Technological Parameters Influence on the Process of Nitinol fabrication and Plastic Deformation
D. Ćubela
Abstract
Titanium and nickel alloy, with 48 - 55 at. % Ni (rest Ti), named Nitinol has property of thermal and mechanical memory and its properties and application depends strongly on a fabrication processes. Nitinol was produced in semi-industrial conditions. Testing results of the quality of the obtained alloy are related to technological parameters of the production and processing. The aim of this work is to give an answer to the question which technological parameters are most influential and possible for the quality control what kind of corrections regarding literature instructions are needed for successful production of Nitinol for given conditions.
Keywords
