The tensile tests and the compressive tests with respect to as-cast NiTi SMA were performed to study its mechanical properties of fracture. The microanalysis of as-cast NiTi SMA as well as its fractured samples was performed so as to better understand microstructure evolution and fracture behavior of NiTi SMA. Under tensile loading, the as-cast NiTi SMA shows higher plasticity and is characterized by ductile fracture at 750℃, but it demonstrates poorer plasticity and is characterized by cleavage fracture as well as transcrystalline fracture at room temperature and -100 ℃. Under compressive loading at -100 ~C, the as-cast NiTi SMA is characterized by shear fracture where the normal to the shearing fracture surface inclines about 45° to the compressive axis, and belongs to cleavage fracture where the cracks exoand via transcrvstalline fracture.展开更多

The results show that the average lamella colony size is 780-1830 μm. This as-cast alloy has a modified near lamellar(M-NL) structure that is composed of mainly larger(α2+γ) lamella colonies and smaller(B2+equiaxed γ) blocky morphology. It exhibits the moderate tensile properties at room temperature, in which the Region(5) yields the ultimate tensile strength(UTS) about 499 MPa and the elongation about 0.53%. The obvious brittle fracture characteristics and trans-granular interlamellar fracture are the predominant modes. After room temperature tensile testing, there are some <101] and a few 1/2<112] superdislocations in the γ phase. The as-cast microcrack is the main factor to deteriorate the tensile property, which results in the premature fracture, poor ductility and few dislocations. The addition of Nb, Cr and V can decrease stacking fault energy(SFE) obviously, which is helpful to enhancing the ductility of the alloy.展开更多
α＋βtitanium alloy with a composition of Ti-6.55Al-3.41Mo-1.77Zr （mass fraction,%） was cast into bars in a graphite mould using vacuum induction skull melting furnace （ISM）.

The cast bars were hot swaged at 700 °C and then heat treated by two different regimes which resulted in fine and coarse lamella structures, respectively. The grain size of the as-cast structure was estimated to be 660 μm and the swaged samples obtained a very fine grain size in the range of 50 μm. The overall best combination of hardness, tensile properties, and wear resistance of theα＋βtitanium alloy was achieved by heat treating the samples at 1050 °C for getting fine lamellar structure. The maximum compression strength was reported for the heat treated samples at 800 °C with coarse lamella structure. The minimum wear rate was reported for the heat treated samples with fine lamellar structure and the maximum wear rate was obtained for as-cast samples due to its coarse and heterogeneity microstructure.展开更多
