Titanium Alloys Microstructure and Properties

In order to obtain metallurgical shape memory alloy with a better quality, electro-magnetic stirring (EMS) technology is selected as an aiding method during plasma arc deposition (PAD) process. In this work, Ti51Ni49 alloys were successfully produced by EMS-assisted PAD technology. Influence of EMS on the microstructure, phase transformation behavior, micro-hardness and wear resistance of PAD TiNi alloy have been systematically investigated. The PAD TiNi alloy is composed of TiNi coarse columnar dendrites with a certain number of Ti2Ni phases distributed in the inter-dendritic regions. Under the action of EMS, TiNi coarse columnar dendrites transform into fine non-dendrites or spheroid grains and the homogeneity of microstructures improves significantly. The implementation of EMS during PAD do not change the path of phase transformation, but improve the degree of phase transformations and reduce the transformation temperatures of PAD TiNi alloy. The EMS-PAD TiNi alloy possesses better dry wear resistance than the PAD TiNi alloy, which can be attributed to the higher degree of pseudo-elasticity of TiNi phases and strengthening of Ti2Ni phases.
