The experimental results regarding the effect of warm (573 K) pressing with an increase in the specified true strain, , up to 9.55, on the microstructure and crystal structure defects (dislocations, vacancies) of the TiNi (at %) alloy are presented. It is shown that all samples (regardless of ) have a two-level microstructure.

The paper analyzes the surface structure and phase state of TiNi (at%) hydrogenated at 295 K in normal saline (0.9% NaCl aqueous solution with pH = 5.7) at 20 A/m for 0.

When hydrogen is charged, it first suppresses the transformations B2↔B19' and R↔B19' in the surface layer, and when its distribution over the volume becomes uniform, such transformations are suppressed throughout the material. The kinetics of hydrogen redistribution is determined by the hydrogen diffusion coefficient D, which depends on the grain size.
