Dissimilar diffusion bonds of TiAl alloy to AISI 310 stainless steel using Ni/Ti reactive multilayers were studied in this investigation. The Ni and Ti alternating layers were deposited by d.c. magnetron sputtering onto the base materials, with a bilayer thickness of 30 and 60 nm. Joining experiments were performed at 700 and 800 ̋C for 60 min under pressures of 50 and 10 MPa. The effectiveness...

The physical-mechanical properties of Ti-Ni-Ta and Ti-Ni-Ta-Si-based surface alloys ~1 μm thickness synthesized on the NiTi substrates by additive thin-film electron beam method were investigated. effect these functional composite systems [Ti-Ni-Ta alloy/TiNi substrate] [Ti-Ni-Ta-Si was explored. It established that Ti-Ni-Ta-Si based alloy with an amorphous structure is characterized higher gra...

In this review I discuss the various γ-ray emission lines that can be expected and, in some cases have been observed, from radioactive explosive nucleosynthesis products. The most important γ-ray lines result from the decay chains of Ni, Ni, and Ti. Ni is the prime explosive nucleosynthesis product of Type Ia supernovae, and its decay determines to a large extent the Type Ia light curves. Ni is...

A recently developed crystal-mechanics-based constitutive model for polycrystalline shape-memory alloys (Thamburaja and Anand [1]) is shown to quantitatively predict the in-plane anisotropy of superelastic sheet Ti-Ni to reasonable accord. Keywords— Phase transformations, Constitutive equations, Finite-elements, Mechanical testing.

Bi2WO6 has become a common photocatalyst due to its advantages of simple synthesis and high activity. However, the defects pure such as low light reception hinder application in photocatalysis. In this study, based on modification with Ti(IV) cavity co-catalyst, new Ni- Ti-doped nanosheets (Ni/Ti-Bi2WO6) were prepared by one-step wet thermal impregnation method used for photocatalytic degradati...

Titanium K-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy is used to examine the local Ti environments in the sol, gel, and xerogels of titanium oxide prepared by a sol-gel method. The xerogels were prepared by heat treatment at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 degrees C (denoted xero-200, xero-300, xero-400, xero-500, and xero-600), and the xerogels were doped with Fe(II), Ni(II), a...

Rods of Ni-43.5wt% Ti alloy were prepared under various casting conditions. Specimens which were melted in a cordierite crucible and cast in a phosphate-bonded investment mold had less strength and elongation than those melted in a copper crucible and cast in a phosphate-bonded investment mold. All castings exhibited superelasticity at room temperature. The upper limit of recoverable strain was...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were synthesized on a Ni/Au/Ti substrate using a thermal chemical vapor deposition process. A Ni layer was used as a catalyst, and an Au layer was applied as a barrier in order to prevent diffusion between Ni and Ti within the substrate during the growth of carbon nanotubes. The results showed that vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes could be uniformly...

Intermetallic systems of Nickel (Ni), Aluminium (Al), and Titanium (Ti) are candidates for lightweight materials that offer high-temperature resistance. Combustion synthesis has been widely studied to produce intermetallic coating deposition by exploiting the heat released combustion. An underlayer is often used enhance adhesion substrate. The interaction during heating is, therefore, crucial a...

The superelastic behavior of coil springs of a Ti-Ni shape memory alloy was investigated using loading-unloading cycling tests under isothemal temperatures. The effects of the Ni content and shape memory treatment temperatures on the cyclic behavior in the superelastic deformation were investigated. The deformation behavior within the elastic region of the parent phase scarcely changes during t...
