Abstract

The article represents results of influence of different severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques on TiNi alloys. It is demonstrated that strength and shape memory effect (SME) of TiNi can be significantly enhanced due to formation of ultrafine-grained (UFG) and nanocrystalline (NC) structures by SPD. Influence of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), high pressure torsion (HPT), multi-step SPD deformations (ECAP plus cold rolling) on structure, mechanical and functional properties of TiNi alloys is considered. There are represented first results of influence of equal channel angular pressure-Conform (ECAP-C) on TiNi alloys, which is a perspective technology for industrial fabrication of UFG metals and alloys.
