Symposium Interfacial effects and novel properties in nanomaterials.

Recent investigations testify to the fact that due to the shape-memory
effect and good mechanical properties the TiNi alloys are very
attractive for some medical and engineering applications. We
demonstrate in the present paper that these properties can be enhanced
essentially by forming nanostructures in these alloys through severe
plastic deformation (SPD), i.e., intence shearing under high imposed
pressure. Using computer modeling and experimental investigations
there have been defined the SPD regimes leading to formation of
homogeneous nanostructures with a grain size of less that 100 nm and
as a result considerable enhancement of physical and mechanical
properties of the alloys. New potentialities of nanostructured TiNi
alloys for structural and functional applications are considered.
