Shape memory based high performance nickel-titanium alloy particles were embedded by friction stir processing in graded concentration on the surface of light weight commercially pure magnesium cast plates. The novel functionally graded material so developed was analyzed for microhardness evolution and vibration damping effect. The nickel-titanium alloy particles were filled in a 2.5 wide × 3 mm deep slot and embedded on the surface by friction stir processing. A shallower slot 2.5 wide × 1.5 mm deep was milled over the previously embedded surface in which nickel-titanium alloy powder was again filled and embedded on the surface by second pass friction stir processing. This sequence of pass created the graded variation in nickel-titanium alloy concentration. The so fabricated functionally graded material was cut out from the plate and it was hot-forged to 2/3 thickness and subsequently quenched. The microstructural examination confirmed homogeneous dispersion of nickel-titanium alloy particles and clear interface between high and low concentration regions. The microhardness confirmed a uniform graded variation in hardness. The vibration damping tests confirm considerable improvement in the damping capacity of the fabricated functionally graded material.

The thermomechanical properties of nickel-titanium shape memory alloys have sparked significant research efforts seeking to exploit their exotic capabilities. Until recently, the performance capabilities of nickel-titanium devices have been inhibited by the retention of only one thermomechanical response. In this article, the application of a novel laser-processing technique is demonstrated to create a monolithic self-positioning nickel-titanium shape memory microgripper. Device actuation and gripping maneuvers were achieved by thermally activating processed material regions which possessed unique phase transformation onset temperatures and thermomechanical recovery characteristics. The existence of each thermomechanical material domain was confirmed through differential scanning calorimetry analysis. Independent thermomechanical recoveries of each embedded shape memory were captured using tensile testing methods. Deployment of each embedded shape memory was achieved using resistive heating, and in situ resistivity measurements were used to monitor progressive phase transformations.
