The surface reforming of Ti wire by powder metallurgy was investigated in this study. Pure Ni powder, Ni/Ti powder and Ni/ Al powder were used as coating materials. A piece of Ti wire (φ=1.0 mm) was placed in an alumina crucible, and coating materials (Ni powder, Ni/Ti premixed powder, Ni/Al premixed powder) were filled around the Ti wire. The alumina crucible was vacuum sealed in a quartz tube with 2 ×10 -3 Pa. The quartz tube was heated in an electric furnace for 60 min. For the test piece obtained, microstructure, phase and Vickers hardness were measured. A uniform compound layer was formed when the Ni / Al premixed powder was used as the coating material. The intermetallic compound layer was consisted of (Ti 3 Al+NiTi) , (Ti 3 Al+Ti 2 Ni+τ 4 ) phases. The surface reforming of Ti wire was able to be performed by dipping heat of Ti wire into Ni/Al premixed powder. [doi:10.2320/jinstmet.J2018005]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
