| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we aimed to expand the application of TiNi shape memory alloys, and investigated the functionalization of TiNi shape memory alloys from two viewpoints: functionally-graded properties and high corrosion resistance. A new process combining powder metallurgy and heat treatment was proposed for gradient functionality, while high corrosion resistance was achieved by a combination of surface smoothing and thermal nitridation. The main results of this research are as follows (1) Ultrasonic-shot peening gives distinct functionally-graded properties to the deformation resistance of sintered TiNi shape memory alloys with longitudinally graded Ni concentration. (2) Surface smoothing under appropriate conditions and the generation of a passive film by thermal nitridation are effective for the high corrosion resistance of TiNi shape memory alloys.
