Abstract: The chemical composition of the surface of TiNi-based alloys in the form of ribbons produced by rapid melt quenching in oxygen-containing environment has been investigated. It is shown that titanium oxide is formed on the TiNiCu alloy surface, while on the TiNiCuHf alloy surface titanium and hafnium oxides are formed. Atomic-force microscope images reveal crystalline structures of titanium oxide with sizes of up to 500 × 500 nm on the surface of the TiNiCu sample. After removing the surface oxide layer by ion etching, the ratio of elements becomes close to the stoichiometric composition.
