Abstract:

NiTi alloy has desired engineering properties with many applications, such as biomedical, aerospace, automotive, etc, where several researchers have investigated the development of ternary and quaternary alloying of NiTi to further enhance its performance for demanding technological applications. However, there are limited studies on the effects and synergy of Re and Mo on the nanomechanical properties of NiTi alloy, despite the highly recommended effect of Re on the mechanical properties of Ni-based superalloys. Therefore, this study bridged this gap by developing NiTi-Re-Mo alloy via the spark plasma sintering technique and investigating its nanomechanical properties in relation to NiTi, NiTi-Re, and NiTi-Mo alloys. It was noted that NiTi-Re-Mo has better nanomechanical responses than other developed NiTi-based alloys. For instance, the hardness and elastic modulus of NiTi-Mo-Re increased to about 28236.7 MPa and 483.4 GPa from 4460.7 MPa and 122.5 GPa for NiTi alloy, respectively. These significant increments were credited to the synergy effect of Re and Mo, the solution and hard phase precipitation strengthening of the NiTi system, which also contributed to the reduction of dislocations and improved mechanical locking of the NiTi system. This makes the alloy desirable for high mechanical strength applications.
