The Preparation of Modified Nitinol Alloys
Abstract
To provide material for use in a corrosion research program, the Naval Ordnance Laboratory contracted with Battelle's Columbus Laboratories to prepare large research samples of plate of six Nitinol alloys. Using melting procedures developed earlier by Battelle-Columbus, six 65-pound ingots were vacuum-induction melted and cast at Battelle-Columbus. All six ingots were found to be free of secondary pipe and porosity. The chemical compositions of five of the alloys are very close to the aim compositions; that of the sixth alloy differs somewhat, but should be satisfactory for the intended use.
