Titanium foams produced by solid-state replication of NaCl powders
نویسنده
چکیده
Open-celled titanium foams were fabricated by vacuum hot pressing of a blend of Ti and NaCl powders followed by NaCl removal in water. Densification kinetics of the Ti/NaCl blends are measured at 780 ◦C at various pressures (30–50MPa), NaCl volume fractions (30–70%) and NaCl powder sizes (50–500 m). As compared to pure Ti powders, densification kinetics of the blends is faster for relative densities below 92% due to rapid deformation of the NaCl powders. After dissolution, the flattened shape of the NaCl

Shape-memory NiTi foams produced by replication of NaCl space-holders.
NiTi foams were created with a structure (32-36% open pores 70-400 microm in size) and mechanical properties (4-25 GPa stiffness, >1000 MPa compressive strength, >42% compressive ductility, and shape-memory strains up to 4%) useful for bone implant applications. A mixture of NiTi and NaCl powders was hot-isostatically pressed at 950 and 1065 degrees C and the NaCl phase was then dissolved in wa...
متن کاملProcessing of NiTi Foams by Transient Liquid Phase Sintering
Porous NiTi was produced by sintering pre-alloyed NiTi powders (with small Ni addition to form Ni-rich composition) with NaCl powders which are removed to create 40-60 vol.% macropores which are open to the surface, blocky in shape, and 100-400 lm in size. The microporosity present between the NiTi powders is infiltrated by an in situ created NiTi-Nb eutectic liquid which, after solidification,...
متن کاملRecycling of Waste Epoxy-Polyester Powders for Foam Production
This paper proposes a new foaming technology (solid-state foaming) to produce structural foams from waste thermosetting resins. The proposed technology is easy and does not require specific and expensive equipments. Solid tablets are produced by cold compaction of resin powder, and foam by heating in an oven. Composite foams can be produced by mixing fillers and resin powder before the cold com...
متن کاملDirectionally freeze-cast titanium foam with aligned, elongated pores
Directional freeze-casting – a process used to create foams with elongated, aligned pores applied so far exclusively for ceramics – is demonstrated for titanium foams. An aqueous slurry of <45 lm titanium powders was directionally solidified, resulting in a powder preform consisting of elongated, aligned dendrites of pure ice separated by interdendritic regions with high powder content. After f...
متن کاملShape-memory NiTi–Nb foams
A new powder metallurgy technique for creating porous NiTi is demonstrated, combining liquid phase sintering of prealloyed NiTi powders by Nb additions and pore creation by NaCl space-holders. The resulting foams exhibit well-densified NiTi–Nb walls surrounding interconnected pores created by the space-holder, with controlled fraction, size, and shape. Only small amounts of Nb (3 at.%) are need...
