Abstract
Titanium-based alloys are widely used in various industries thanks to a combination of high mechanical properties and low density. The most effective use of these properties is making aircraft components and medical implants. Shape memory alloys based on titanium nickelide (nitinol) are promising materials for production of superelastic medical implants and tools as well as thermomechanical elements in aerospace technology. The combination of these materials used as the elements of hybrid structures or composites can allow the creation of products with a unique set of properties such as high mechanical properties, superelasticity and damping capacity, increased wear resistance, and thermal shape memory. The basic properties of alloys based on titanium nickelide and the most widely used titanium alloy VT6 (Ti–6Al–4V) are analyzed. It is found that the functional properties of nitinol combined with structural properties of titanium alloys in an integrated structure make it possible to make a variety of products, especially for aerospace and medical industries. The possibilities to make high-strength permanent joints of titanium alloys with nitinol are analyzed. Various methods of welding (generally laser and diffusion welding) and soldering are currently investigated in order to produce such structures, and best prospects are associated with the use of intermediate layers that eliminate brittle intermetallic phase formation in the permanent joints.
