Abstract:
Depending on the processing method, pseudoelastic NiTi alloys can have small, lenticular Ni 4 Ti 3 precipitates; however, the mechanical properties of these precipitates are not well understood. By performing nanoindentation with a spherical indenter, Ni 4 Ti 3 precipitates within a pseudoelastic NiTi alloy were examined. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the indents after nanoindentation. After unloading, the hardness and remnant depth ratios of the indents in the Ni 4 Ti 3 precipitates, the NiTi matrix, and the “average” NiTi alloy were compared. To decouple the effects of elasticity from those of pseudoelasticity, similar nanoindentation experiments were performed on an NiAl sample and compared with results from the NiTi sample.
