ABSTRACT NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) show excellent performance in vibration damping and corrosion resistance. However, due to low hardness and lack of self‐lubrication, they suffer severe friction and wear during service. Although various strategies including doping and heterostructure design have been proposed, the effects are unsatisfactory.

Nitride-strengthened reduced activation ferritic/martensitic steels
Two nitride-strengthened reduced activation martensitic (RAFM) steels with different Mn contents were investigated. The experimental steels were designed, based on the Eurofer 97 steel, but the C content was reduced to an extremely low level.
