Effects of Thermo-Mechanical Heat Treatments on the Microstructure and Thermal Conductance Properties of Ni-Ti-Hf-based Shape Memory Alloys.
My research focuses on effects of thermo-mechanical heat treatments on thermal conductance properties and microstructure of the novel NiTi-20Hf alloy. This alloy features a transition temperature in a range of 120-200 ºC, depending on the nickel concentration and heat treatment conditions. In addition, it has a high yield strength compared to binary NiTi. These properties make it an attractive candidate for high-temperature aerospace actuators.
