Dynamic Consolidation of NiTi Alloy Powder by Shock Wave Method

Porous NiTi alloy prepared from elemental powder sintering

An elemental powder sintering (EPS) technique has been developed for the synthesis of porous NiTi alloy, in which Ni and Ti powders are used as the reactants and TiH2 powder is added as a pore-forming agent and active agent. Effects of various experimental parameters (sintering temperature, sintering time, and TiH2 content) on the porosity, pore size and pore distribution as well as phase compo...

Effect of Elemental Powder Size on Foaming Behavior of NiTi Alloy Made by Combustion Synthesis

Nickel titanium (NiTi) foams were made by combustion synthesis of powders with the help of ZrH2 as foaming agent and TiB2 as endothermic agent. In this paper, we investigated the effect of elemental powder size on the foaming. The powder size of Ni and Ti affected the ignition temperature of the combustion reaction, cell morphology and microstructure of the foams. The cell morphology of the foa...

Method for Improving Consolidation of Powder Resin

Porous, Superelastic NiTi Produced by Powder-Metallurgy

Near-stoichiometric NiTi was foamed in the solid state at elevated temperatures through creep expansion of highpressure argon pores previously entrapped during powder consolidation. A sample with 17% porosity was found to be superelastic up to a compressive stress of 800 MPa.

Enhanced of Nano-mechanical Properties of NiTi Alloy by Applied Nanostructured Tantalum Nitride Coating with Magnetron Sputtering method

    Nowadays, suitable protective properties of tantalum nitride coatings, such as hardness, abrasion resistance and high corrosion resistance lead to increasing its application in medical engineering and improving the biological behavior of titanium and its alloys. In this research, nanostructured tantalum nitride coating was applied on the NiTi alloy by magnetron sputtering method. Then, the ...
