Abstract

Additive manufacturing of TC4-NiTi alloy components posed many challenges due to the significant differences in their material properties. No previous literature has been found to study bonding characteristics of TC4-NiTi interface fabricated via multi-wire arc additive manufacturing (MWAAM). This paper introduces the preparation of TC4-Nb-NiTi bionic layered heterogeneous structure alloy components using MWAAM with Nb as the interlayer. The results indicated that phase composition from TC4 region to NiTi region as follows: α-Ti + β-Ti → α-Ti + β-Ti + (Nb, Ti) → NiTi + NiTi2 + Ni3Ti + α-Ti + (Nb, Ti) → NiTi + Ni3Ti. The microstructure of TC4 alloy side gradually refined with the increase of Nb content, while Nb and NiTi formed a eutectic structure at the interface. The maximum microhardness of MWAAM TC4-Nb-NiTi alloy component was 393.3 HV. The ultimate compressive strength (1419.87 MPa) and fracture strain (22.12%) for MWAAM TC4-Nb-NiTi sample was obtained. The ultimate tensile stress and the elongation of MWAAM TC4-Nb-NiTi sample were 378.8 MPa and 3.09%, respectively. The fracture mode of tensile samples was a mixed fracture dominated by brittle fracture.
