Silver- and Zirconium-added ternary and quaternary TiAu based high temperature shape memory alloys

Brief Overview on Nitinol as Biomaterial

“…The current author has published a number of papers related to nickel-free titanium based shape memory alloys for biomedical and engineering applications in international journals [78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86]. During postdoctoral work from 2012 to 2014 in the High Temperature Materials Unit, National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, Japan, the current author's research activities were related to TiPt and TiAu based intermetallics for high temperature applications and he has published papers in international journals [87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94].…”

Comparison of Aluminum Based Alloys Reinforced with Intermetallic Developed by Powder Metallurgy and Arc Melting Routes

“…Reduced weights of vehicles improve fuel efficiency. Mostly used lightweight materials for structural applications are Aluminum (Al), Magnesium (Mg), Titanium (Ti), Beryllium (Be), Titanium Aluminides, Engineered Plastics, Structural Ceramics, Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs) and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) [3,5]. Tisza and Czinege [6] compared the application of light-weight Aluminum with heavy-weight steel in the production of automotive parts.…”

Thermal Cyclic Properties of Ti-Pd-Pt-Zr High-Temperature Shape Memory Alloys

“…However, one problem of binary compounds is their low strength in the austenite phase, which results in a poor shape memory effect [14][15][16]. To increase the high-temperature strength of Ti-Pd [17,18], Ti-Au [19,20], and Ti-Pt [21][22][23][24][25], the addition of alloying elements has been attempted; this process is reviewed in [26][27][28]. It was found that an alloying element has some effect at improving the strength of the austenite and martensite phases, resulting in improved shape recovery.…”
