Ti-Ni Phase Diagram with Applied Stress
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
The role of stress on the phase evolution of thin-film TiNi has not been investigated and may play an important role in the phase evolution of thin film TiNi. In this paper, a preliminary set of phase diagrams for Ni-Ti at different pressures are presented relating the stability of the stoichiometric TiNi phase to the other well-documented intermetallics TiNi3 and NiTi2. It is found that for sufficient pressure of the order of a GPa, the region where NiTi (β) phase is single phase shifts towards the Ti-rich side of the diagram. The implications on the annealing of TiNi thin film is discussed.
