The Technology of The Manufacturing Thin Wire of TiNi-based Alloys by Using Infrared Radiation

The paper describes the technology of manufacturing a thin nickel-titanium wire through direct exposure to infrared radiation (IR). The effect of IR on the change in the structure of a thin wire made from the TiNi-based alloy was studied during its manufacturing. A comparative analysis of the Ti, Ni and O concentration in the TiNi wire was carried out. The analysis was performed for both a thin wire exposed to infrared radiation and that not exposed to infrared radiation. The wire samples were studied using a scanning electron microscope with the energy dispersive analysis. The infrared radiation effect on the structure of the wire is shown after thermal treatment in the local area of the material
