Abstract:

In this research work, Ni rich superelastic Nickel-Titanium(NiTinol) alloy rods were joined using a fully automated direct-driven rotary friction welding machine at 1900 rpm. Samples were subjected to heat treatment after the removal of flash bead. Corrosion behavior of the NiTinol samples were carried out using weight loss method and Potentiodynamic Polarization (PDP) technique using 3.5% NaCl and 1N HCl solution in interval of 12h, 24h, 36h, and 48h at different temperature conditions such as 25°C, 35°C, 45°C, and 55°C respectively. Research has been carried out to find the corrosion characteristics for both annealed and cryogenically treated samples. Research findings revealed that, in weight loss method the impact of corrosion has no effect in the welded zone. In PDP method, the corrosion rate is found to be less and insignificant compared to any other alloys. Hence, the material proved as anti-corrosive in nature. This fact is due to the formation of Titanium oxides (TiO2) and Titanium nitrides passive layers which hinders the rate of corrosion. However, more corrosion resistance was seen in cryogenically treated welded samples compared to the other samples.
