Popis: The regularities of surface cratering in commercial and precision TiNi alloys irradiated with a low-energy, high-current electron beam (LEHCEB) in dependence on non-metallic (TiC(O)) or intermetallic (Ti2Ni) inclusions presented in TiNi matrix are studied. The melting threshold of TiNi alloy was found to be achieved in the range of LEHCEBs energy density E s corresponding to 1.3-1.5 J/cm 2 . The dominant role of non-metallic inclusions [mainly, TiC(O)] in the nucleation of microcraters was found. The processes initiated by pulsed heating/melting near the inclusion/matrix interface were analyzed. It is proposed that the most important factor enabling the liquid-phase dissolution of inclusions and delivery of impurities of C and O [from TiC(O)] and O (from Ti 4 Ni 2 O x ) into TiNi melt are eutectic reactions taking place in the Ti-Ni-C and Ti-Ni-O systems near Ti 50 Ni 50 composition.
