Abstract
TiNi alloy is a well-known shape memory alloy, which has demonstrated its great potential for a large variety of applications; this alloy is being actively applied to the development of new energy conversion systems, to the design for new robots and smart material systems, and to the development of medical implants and instruments. In addition to its shape memory effect, it has been observed that TiNi alloy also exhibits great resistance to wear. It is expected that the TiNi alloy, with its shape memory effect, vibration-damping feature, and high corrosion resistance, may become a new type of tribo-material and find new engineering applications. The high wear resistance of TiNi alloy may be attributed to its pseudoelastic behavior. This paper presents experimental results on wear behavior of TiNi alloy and its variation with microstructure. The pseudoelasticity of TiNi alloy was also studied, and its possible effect on wear resistance has been discussed in this paper.
