Electropolishing of NiTi wires using an eco-friendly deep eutectic solvent
Nickel-Titanium alloys are widely used in biomedical and industrial applications due to their unique shape memory and superelastic properties. However, optimizing the surface quality of NiTi wires is essential to enhance their performance and longevity. This study investigates the electropolishing of NiTi wires using a deep eutectic solvent (DES) based on choline chloride and ethylene glycol as a sustainable alternative to conventional electrolytes. The effects of applied voltage and processing time on surface quality were systematically studied. Surface characterization was performed by scanning electron microscopy, white light interferometry, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) with sputter-assisted analysis. Electropolishing at 11.5 V yielded a gradual and homogeneous surface smoothing (Sa reduced from 0.62 m to 0.39 m after 30 min), whereas 16 V enabled a rapid decrease to Sa = 0.28 m within 5 min, albeit with less uniformity due to gas evolution. XPS with controlled sputtering revealed thinner oxide layers on electropolished samples compared to the chemically etched base material. Overall, the DES-based approach enables significant improvements in surface morphology and oxide reduction while minimizing environmental impact by eliminating hazardous acids.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects is an international journal devoted to the science underlying applications of colloids and interfacial phenomena.
The journal aims at publishing high quality research papers featuring new materials or new insights into the role of colloid and interface science in (for example) food, energy, minerals processing, pharmaceuticals or the environment.
