Reaction sintering of porous shape-memory titanium-nickelide-based alloys

The problems of reaction sintering of porous shape-memory Ti−Ni-based alloys are examined. An analysis of the structure and parameters of shape-memory materials produced with the use of different reaction sintering modes is performed. The temperature and time intervals are determined over which liquid-phase sintering points responsible for a qualitative change in the TiNi phase of the reaction-sintered Ti−Ni system are observed. The morphological structure and properties of the porous materials are investigated. Models for interactions between phases and phase transformations in the sintered alloys are built. It has been found that changes in the deformation parameters of the porous titanium nickelide-based alloys correlate with an increase in the volume fraction of the TiNi phase and with its wholeness as the sintering time is increased

Influence of cobalt and molybdenum additives on the structure and shape memory parameters of reaction-sintered porous nickel titanium alloys

We have studied the structure and properties of porous nickel titanium (TiNi) alloys obtained upon reaction sintering of Ti and Ni powders with Co and Mo additives. It is established that Co and Mo doping additives retain the compaction of Ni powder achieved at the initial stage of sintering. The maximum deformation of porous samples loaded in the austenite state was observed upon adding Co, while the addition of Mo resulted in minimum deformation. The addition of Co leads to single-stage martensitic transformation in TiNi phase, while the addition of Mo leads to the two-stage transformation that is more homogeneous over the volume. Both Co and Mo additives lead to increase in the maximum accumulated strain due to the formation of favorably oriented stress-induced martensite and reoriented quench-induced martensite

The effect of cobalt additives on martensitic transformations and deformation in sintered porous nickel titanium alloys

Porous nickel titanium (TiNi) shape memory alloys with cobalt additives have been obtained by reaction and diffusion sintering. Analysis of the experimental temperature dependence of the electric resis tance and multiple shape memory effect leads to a conclusion that Co additives below 1 at % in reaction sin tered, and even more so in diffusionsintered, alloys lead to a reduction in intrinsic internal stresses in the TiNi phase. Additives above 1 at % induce dispersion hardening of the alloy. At all concentrations, cobalt additives lead to obstacles for the martensitic phase transformations
