Study of mechanical and thermophysical properties of Ni₃Ti

Abstract This research assesses the thermophysical and ultrasonic characteristics of the intermetallic compound Ni 3 Ti, which has a hexagonal crystalline structure. The selected material exhibits many noteworthy characteristics, including the shape memory effect, a high melting point, extremely elastic qualities, etc. The Lennard-Jones potential model has been used to calculate the higher-order elastic constants. The mechanical properties of the material, which provide details regarding its stability and intrinsic qualities, are computed using the second-order elastic constants. Additionally, we have computed the thermal conductivity at 300 K, specific heat, ultrasonic velocities, and Debye temperature. Ultimately, the ultrasonic attenuation is determined using all of the available parameters. The obtained results agree with the data available in the literature.
