Intermetallic porous SHS–TiNi alloys exhibit tangled and specific stress-strain characteristics. The article aims to evaluate the findings emanated from experiments using standard and proprietary instruments. Fatigue testing under repeated complex loading was used to measure the total number of load cycles to failure of SHS-TiNi samples. 70% of the tested samples, passed through 106 cycles without failure due to the reversible martensite transformation in the TiNi phase, one of the prevailing constituents of a multiphase matrix. The fractured surfaces were analyzed using SEM and confocal laser scanning instruments. Microscopic studies showed that the entire surface of the sample is concealed with the miscellaneous strata resulted from the SHS process, which effectively protect the porous alloy in a corrosive environment. Numerous non-metallic inclusions, which are also attributed to the SHS reaction, do not have a significant impact on the deformation behavior and fatigue performance. In this context, the successful in vivo functioning of porous grafts assessed in a canine rib-plasty model allows the bone substitute to be congruentially deformed in the body without rejection and degradation, having a long operational life, often greater than 17 million cycles. It acknowledges the potential benefits of SHS–TiNi as a superior osteoplastic material and its high resistance to corrosion fatigue.
β-type Ti–20Nb–13Zr alloys with low Young’s modulus were prepared at different sintering temperatures (950, 1050, 1150, and 1250 °C). The morphological and structural characteristics of as-prepared samples were investigated by several methods. Wear tests were conducted using a ball-on-plate type oscillating tribometer under different applied loads (2, 10, and 20 N). The morphological characterization indicated that the mean pore and crystallite size continuously decreased with increasing sintering temperature to reach lowest values of 40 nm and 38 nm at 1250 °C, respectively. The relative density of the 1250 °C sintered sample was as high as 98.7%. Moreover, the higher sintering temperature resulted in higher relative density and closed porosity of the sample. Both the friction coefficient and wear rate were lower in the sample sintered at 1250 °C as compared to other samples. This enhancement in tribological properties was attributed to a closed porosity.
The objective of this study was to examine the mechanism how the surface of porous TiNi compounds produced by SHS method evolves. The prepared samples were investigated using light-microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results indicated that the surface of all pores is represented by a granular stratum due to dendrite liquation by peritectic crystallization mechanism. The voids of 2–15 μm in size are formed owing to a capillary spreading of the liquid. Reaction gases with dissociated carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen are responsible for heat-and-mass transfer through the forming pores. High pressure-temperature effect of reaction gases on the melt causes the forming voids to coalesce, as well as transfers the peritectic liquid (PL) throughout the open pores catalyzing a distinctive spitted topography. It is through the chemisorption of gasiform nonmetallics by the pore surface melt, where these impurities are chemically bound, that it was formed a massive corrosion-resistant amorphous-nanocrystalline stratified shell deduced as an intermetallic oxycarbonitride layer.
The study aimed to characterize the structural-phase composition of the porous SHS TiNi surface explored by the GIXRD method. The surface layers at a depth of up to 100 nm mainly consist of amorphous nanocrystalline intermetallic oxycarbonitrides Ti₄Ni₂(O,N,C) with nonmetallic inclusions of different structural variants and routes of origin. Fine-porous alloys were synthesized at ignition temperatures of 450-480 °C. A distinct feature of the surface of crystalline phases therein was shown to be a low degree of crystallinity (up to 40%) and presence of multifarious glass and cermet phases evident as NiSi₂, NaAlSiO (SO₄), SiO₂, MgSi₂, and CaCO₃. Conversely, large-pore alloys ignited at temperatures of 280-330 °C have a higher degree of crystallinity (up to 70%). An individually selected GIXRD technique and precision structural phase analysis are capable to determine a set of other superficial nonmetallic and cermet phases reported as CaTiO₃, Si (P2O₇), CaSiO₃, MgAl₂O₄, TiNiAl, as well as the Ti₃SiC₂MAX phase.
