This paper conducted the research of the corrosion resistance of NiTi shape memory alloys in the air through salt spray tests and electrochemical corrosion tests. Studies showed that the NiTi shape memory alloys possesse a very high value of electrochemical impedance
a higher corrosion potential
a smaller corrosion current
and a higher pitting potential in 3. 5%NaCl solution. In addition
its corrosion resistance is better than ordinary galvanized gasket. And the NiTi shape memory alloys showed a good corrosion resistance during salt spray test.
