表面改性TiNi记忆合金棒的回复力学实验研究

采用直径为6~7 mm钛铌涂层T iN i记忆合金棒与未经表面改性的T iN i记忆合金棒,相变温度平均为33.0℃,低温下在三点弯卡具上进行预弯,挠度分别为5.0、10.0、15.0和20.0 mm,保持位移恒定,分别在37℃及50℃的生理盐水溶液恒温水浴箱中测量其三点弯回复力变化特性。结果表明,T iN i记忆合金棒的回复力随回复温度、棒直径、变形量增加而增加;经钛铌表面喷涂后6 mm及6.5 mm棒的回复力有一定降低,但7 mm棒回复力没有显著性差异。依照以上数据可以为临床设计脊柱侧弯矫形棒提供参考。

Experimental Study of Recovery Force of Surface-modified TiNi Memory Alloy Rod

The recovery force of Ti-Nb coated and uncoated TiNi shape memory alloy rods was investigated. The rods were 6.0 mm, 6.5 mm and 7.0 mm in diameter respectively. The mean transition temperature was 33.0 degrees C. The rods were stored at -18 degrees C and pre-bent with a three-point bending fixture, the span was 20. 0 centimeters and the deflections were 5.0 mm, 10.0 mm, 15.0 mm and 20.0 mm, respectively. The rods were then heated in a constant temperature saline solution chamber. The experimental temperature was 37.0 C and 50.0 C respectively. The recovery force was measured in a constant displacement mode on biomaterial test machine. The results showed that the recovery force of the memory alloy rod increased with increasing recovery temperature, rod diameter and deformation of both Ti-Nb coated and uncoated surface. The recovery force of Ti-Nb coated rods of 6.0 and 6.5 millimeter in diameter was lower than the uncoated rods in the same diameter. However, the recovery force of 7.0-mm-diameter rods showed no significant difference between coated and uncoated surface.
