20.500.12556/RUL-132851 Plasma electrolytic polishing of nitinol investigation of functional properties A novel, environmentally friendly, fast, and flexible polishing process for Nitinol parts is presented in this study. Nitinol samples with both superelastic and shape memory properties at room temperature were investigated. The chemical contamination and surface roughness of superelastic Nitinol plates were examined before and after plasma electrolytic polishing. The shift in phase transformation temperature and tensile strength before and after the polishing process were analysed using Nitinol wire with shape memory properties. The obtained experimental results were compared to the data obtained on reference samples examined in the as-received condition. It was found that plasma electrolytic polishing, when the right process parameters are applied, is capable of delivering Nitinol parts with extremely high surface quality. Moreover, it was experimentally proven that plasma electrolytic polishing does not have a negative impact on functionality or mechanical properties of polished parts. plasma electrolytic polishing (PeP) shape memory alloys nitinol mechanical stability elastocalorics medical applications plazemsko elektrolitsko poliranje materiali z oblikovnim spominom Ni-Ti mehanska stabilnost elastokalorični učinek medicinske aplikacije true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-11-05 09:23:11 2021-11-05 09:23:15 2022-09-12 04:14:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 13 str. iss. 21, art. 6450 Vol. 14 Oct. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 620.1:538.9:62-97-022.121 1996-1944 10.3390/ma14216450 83643907 RAZ_Navickaite_Kristina_2021.pdf RAZ_Navickaite_Kristina_2021.pdf 1 F112BAAA6EE2089EAA11E842E3FACF54 307f3cfcdcd28e2e1ad081d00b19161e383b2d554b97f80678c5ec846dc8fa29 09d6feb2-3e15-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150585 https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/14/21/6450 1 93a6a016-3e11-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=150582 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
