In the present study, Iron-based FeMnAlNi and Cobalt-based CoNiGa shape-memory alloys (SMA) were processed by laser metal deposition for the first time. The materials show susceptibility to cracking upon processing when unheated substrates are employed. Pre-heating of the substrate materials eliminated cracking completely and enabled robust deposition of thin-wall structures. Microstructural analysis using optical microscopy revealed different microstructural evolution for the two materials considered.

Abstract: The biomedical application as metallic body implants of Nickel-Titanium shape memory alloys are of high interest due to its unique property of pseudo elasticity. However, high content of nickel and its potential to release from the surface due to corrosion raises safety concerns about its allergic reactions, toxicity and carcinogenicity. Hence, it is necessary to produce proper passivity to prevent surface layer degradation. In this study, ZrN coating on Nickel-Titanium shape memory alloys was obtained by vacuum cathodic arc physical vapor deposition technique to improve electrochemical corrosion resistance. The electrochemical corrosion response was studied in 0.9% NaCl solution at 370C using Tafel extrapolation method. Surface morphology was studied using SEM/EDAX and XRD. ZrN coating increases corrosion stability and micro hardness. Keywords: Shape memory alloy; pseudoelasticity; vacuum cathodic arc PVD; electrochemical corrosion; micro hardness.

The aim of the present paper was to investigate the modifications occurred in the Ti- based shape memory alloy subject to electrochemical corrosion in artificial saliva. By 2D and 3D microscopy and by qualitative determinations of the luminous variation we could notice the effects of electrochemical corrosion tests on the surface of the metallic material, and by EDS determinations (Line and Mapping modes) of the surface chemical composition we could determine the chemical modifications produced following the corrosion tests.
