Shape memory alloy (SMA) mechanical properties rely heavily on microstructural features such as precipitates and grain size to extend fatigue life. Novel approaches to control microstructural features have used laser anneal on amorphous NiTi thin films to recrystallize grains and short-time annealing on NiTi after angular extrusion and cold-drawn fine wires. A recent study examined rapid thermal annealing (RTA) on Ni-lean NiTi- 10 at.% Hf wires as an effective method for controlling grain size and extending actuation fatigue; however, flash annealing or RTA on Ni-rich NiTiHf high-temperature SMA (HTMSA) wires has not been investigated. Based on a larger study, Ni-rich NiTi-20 at.% Hf HTSMA was down-selected for further processing. This study investigates the effect of flash annealing on the thermo-mechanical properties of a Ni-rich Ni50.3Ti29.7Hf20 HTSMA. Microstructural changes were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Actuation fatigue properties were also evaluated at 300 MPa. The results indicate that flash annealing HTSMA wires is an effective method for controlling grain size and extending fatigue life. The heating rate and time held are crucial parameters to control microstructural features such as grain size and coherency.","PeriodicalId":119283,"journal":{"name":"SMST 2022: Extended Abstracts from the International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125029864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An increase in the effective thermal diffusivity of an SMA actuator system will result in an increase in actuation frequency; accordingly, this would lead to the ability to perform more cycles over a given time interval and subsequently yield an overall higher actuator power density (energy density with time).

TiNi is a self-passivating material, as it forms a complex surface oxide layer that protects the material from corrosion and is itself biocompatible. The functional properties of TiNi wire are determined by the structure, composition, and thickness. The purpose of this work is to study the deformation behavior of thin TiNi wires depending on the thickness. TiNi wires of different thicknesses (40, 60, 90 µm) were tested by uniaxial tension to rupture and in the load-unload cycle (5 cycles). The results found that All TiNi wires exhibit the effect of superelasticity at a relative strain of 5-7%.

These two test methods capture the two most important responses in shape memory alloys (SMAs) for actuation, which is load-biased shape memory effect and classical shape memory effect. These test methods measure the transformation properties such as transformation temperatures, actuation strain, and residual strain to provide data for the characterization and selection of SMA materials, quality control, design allowables, and actuator design. In light of this recent development, additional test methods are still needed to fully support the transition of SMA actuators to production use. First, there is a recognized need for a test method that defines and evaluates the evolution of actuation properties and actuation lifecycle during repeated UCFTC. Second, rotary SMA actuation has been demonstrated as a practical and valuable actuator form as highlighted recently during flight test of the spanwise adaptive wing and reconfigurable vortex generators and in remote controlled actuated wind tunnel models. To this end, two new test methods have been proposed to ASTM that extend the applicability of E3097 to repeated UCFTC and torsional testing, respectively. This paper provides an update on the development of SMA standardized test methods for actuator applications highlighting their need and envisioned approaches.","PeriodicalId":119283,"journal":{"name":"SMST 2022: Extended Abstracts from the International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127815487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can be beneficial in applications such as dampers, actuators, and particularly elastocaloric cooling. SMA elements, however, tend to buckle under compressive loading and their stability can be enhanced by utilizing properly designed holders, i.e., structures that support SMA elements and prevent them from buckling. On the other hand, these supporting structures are in contact with SMA elements, which can cause wear and their premature failure, intensified by the lateral expansion of material under compression. In current literature, a majority of experiments are focused on reciprocating sliding wear of tungsten carbide or variations of bearing steel balls/discs/pins/rings on NiTi plates as well as on comparison of wear performance of NiTi with other materials. The aim of this present work is to theoretically and experimentally study tribological conditions between the tube and supporting element (bushing) and to find the most compatible material to NiTi in order to minimize wear, provide adequate structural support, and finally to enhance the overall fatigue behavior.","PeriodicalId":119283,"journal":{"name":"SMST 2022: Extended Abstracts from the International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115798009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A variety of secretions add ions, digestive enzymes, and proteins to the environment along the GI tract. Establishing absolute acceptance criteria for corrosion resistance of metallic implants presents a unique challenge in this constantly changing environment. In this study, cyclic potentiodynamic polarization corrosion tests were conducted over several years at multiple labs in accordance with the requirements of ASTM F2129. Braided Nitinol wire stents with thermal oxide surface representing a range of GI tract stents with good clinical history were tested in solutions selected to simulate the target anatomy in the human gastrointestinal tract. The results suggest that acceptance criteria for devices tested in simulated vascular environments do not reflect requirements for successful devices used in the varied chemical environments of the GI tract.
