The Methods of Preparation of Ti-Ni-X Alloys and Their Forming

摘要

The continuous development of science and technology in all industrial sectors means connecting and usage of a wide range of new knowledge together with implementation of new modern technologies for production of materials with high functional, specific and special properties. Intermetallic compounds TiNi with shape-memory effect are an interesting group of materials. These materials are used in a wide range of industry, such as electronics, robotics, tele-communication and also in medicine and optics. Shape-memory alloys (SMA) are a group of materials characterized by shape-memory effect (SME) and superelasticity (SE), also called pseudoelasticity.
