It is reported that selective laser melting(SLM) of additive manufacturing could overcome this problem. However, the reported SLM-produced Ni Ti exhibits poor tensile ductility due to the inner defects and adverse unidirectional columnar grains from SLM process. In this work, the defect-less SLM-Ni Ti with nondirective columnar grains was fabricated by optimizing the intraformational laser scanning length and interformational laser scanning direction. The obtained lath-shaped SLM-Ni Ti sample exhibits tensile strain of 15.6%, more than twice of the reported maximum result(7%). Besides, the SLM-Ni Ti part with complex geometry displays a shape memory recovery of 99% under compressive deformation of 50%.展开更多

The atomic force microscopy, auger electron spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy show that the surface of NiTi alloy is covered by TiO2 nano-film with embedded pure Ag with a peak concentration of 5.0 at% at the incident dose of 1.5 x10^17 ions.cm-a, and Ni concentration is reduced in the super- ficial surface layer. The surface roughness reaches the maximum value nearly twice higher than the control sample at the incident dose of 1.5x10^17 ions.cm-2. The potentiodynamic anodic polarization curves show that the Ag-implanted NiTi samples possess higher self-corrosion potential （Ecorr） and lower self-corrosion current density （icor0 but lower breakdown potential （Ebr）. Therefore, the corrosion resistance of the Ag-NiTi is comparable to, if not better than, the untreated NiTi. The antibacterial tests reveal that there is a distinct reduction of the germ numbers on the Ag-NiTi, which is due to the direct contact between Ag and germ, and enhanced by the leaching Ag ions.展开更多

Thermal analyses indicate that the evaporation temperature of the organics decreases with the addition of tantalum ethoxide in the TiO2 sol, but the crystallization temperature of anatase increases. The NaOH-HC1 pre- treatment improves the film integrity, but cracks still form in the films at high Ta contents （_〉20 %, molar ratio） owing to the increasing film thickness. X-ray diffraction （XRD） confirms that the addition of Ta suppresses the crystalli- zation of anatase. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） reveals that Ta exists as Ta2Os in the film. With the increase of Ta content, the hydrophilic conversion of the films under UV illumination is impeded, but their corrosion resistance in 0.9 % NaC1 solution increases, tested by the potentiodynamic polarization. The coating samples have acceptable hemolysis ratios for biomaterials （〈5）. The introduction of Ta improves the anti-aggregating function of the TiO2 film in the platelet adhesion test.展开更多

The joints with different interlayers are all fractured in the weld zone near the Ni Ti side, which is attributed to the enrichment of intermetallic compounds including Fe2 Ti and Ni3 Ti. The fracture mechanisms of different joints are strongly dependent on the types of interlayers, and the joints without interlayer, adding Ni interlayer and adding Fe Ni interlayer exhibit cleavage fracture, intergranular fracture and mixed fracture composed of cleavage and tearing ridge, respectively. Compared with the brittle laves phase Fe2 Ti, Ni3 Ti phase can exhibit certain plasticity, block the crack propagation and change the direction of crack propagation. The composite structure of Ni3 Ti and Fe2 Ti will be formed when the Fe Ni alloy is taken as the interlayer, which provides the joint excellent mechanical properties, with rupture strength of 343 MPa.展开更多
