摘要: Electropolishing and its mechanism for NiTi shape memory alloy in methanolic sulfuric acid have been investigated recently. In the current study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was carried out to characterize chemical nature of electropolished surface. The surface is covered by a thin layer TiO 2 . For an specimen, Ni:Ti ratio at (∼1 nm) 0.31, whereas mechanically polished specimen 0.70. second aspect this work attempt salt film formed during electropolishing. characterization salt-film showed sulfide sulfate compounds Ni and/or Ti. crystallographic topographical changes caused due thermally induced phase transformation on followed situ XRD AFM. AFM studies revealed significant features transformation. roughness value increased factor 2.
