| Abstract Scope |
Ion implantation is explored as a novel method to control the superelastic response of a solution-treated Ni50.5-Ti49.5 shape memory alloy, through the creation of irradiation-defects that could serve as nucleation and/or pinning sites for a B2-B19’ phase transformation. Ni ion implantation, at dpa levels typically less than those reported for amorphization, is followed by nanoindentation into a polished cross-sectional surface. A nearly 70% increase in hardness is observed ~3 microns below the implanted surface, while maintaining comparable recoverable displacement. Upon reindentation into existing indents, a more linearized loading/unloading response with reduced hysteresis is observed compared to unimplanted material. The results suggest that Ni ion implantation is a novel avenue to process NiTi shape memory alloys.
