Abstract:Abstract. Heat treatment of Nickel Titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy at high temperature will result in formation of titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) layer at the surface. TiO 2 is a ceramic with higher value of hardness and does not exhibit martensitic phase transformation, thus affects the shape memory behaviour of the NiTi core. This work studies the effect of formation of TiO 2 layer on the surface towards the shape memory behaviour of near-equiatomic NiTi alloy. The NiTi plate with composition of Ti-50.2at%Ni was… Show more
