Tribological Applications of Shape Memory and Superelastic Effects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
We provide an overview of our recent studies on novel tribological applications of shape memory and superelastic effects: (i) the use of shape memory NiTi alloys as self- healing surfaces, and (ii) the use of the superelastic NiTi as an interlayer between a hard coating and a soft substrate to improve interfacial adhesion, decrease friction coefficient, and improve wear resistance.
