The Cu- Al-Ni shape memory alloys have numerous industrial applications such as actuators, Cryofit hydraulic couplings, fire safety valves ,etc. while the parts that soaked in the sea water suffer severe corrosion that lead to worsening in the properties of the alloys. In the current research, the effect of adding titanium on corrosion behavior of the shape memory alloys (Cu-13wt. %Al-4wt. %Ni) were studied. Titanium was added in different weight ratios (0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 wt.%) to the base alloy. The alloys were prepared using powder metallurgy, whereby the alloys were sintered with two stages of heating under Argon atmosphere, at 550°C for (120 min.) and 950°C for (180 min.)respectively. All the sintered samples are solution treated by heating the samples at 900 °C for (60 min.) followed by rapid quenching in ice water at ( 3 ~ 6) °C. After that aging heat treatment has been done for quenched samples at 200 °C for (30 hrs.) followed by rapid quenching in iced water. Several tests such as microstructures observation and phase analysis using scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, and X-ray diffraction analysis have been done. Further , Corrosion behavior for all samples in aged conditions in 3.5%NaCl solution have been performed. Corrosion test results have showed that the highest corrosion resistance was found in the addition of (1.2 wt.% Ti) which give the lowest corrosion rate (0.003 mpy) in 3.5% NaCl solution . Noted that the corrosion rate of base alloy was (9.021)mpy. EDS analysis showed chemical composition of the aged surface and also mapping images for the distribution of Cu, Al, Ni, and Ti elements on the surface. Phases formed on aged samples conditions are α-Cu and AlCu3.
