Abstract

An experimental study investigating the influence of macro-, micro- and nanoscale structural refinement and contact temperatures in the range of 20−800 °C on the tribological characteristics of shape memory Ti49.3Ni50.7 alloy processed via severe rolling with a pulse current and subsequent annealing at various temperatures is presented. Analysis revealed an increase in alloy strength characteristics, a decrease in the adhesive component of the friction coefficient and a decrease in the tendency to seizure in the course of friction with a decrease in grain size. The temperature dependence of the adhesive component of the friction coefficient for all structure states was found to have a maximum at 250–350 °C.
