Abstract

The microstructure, martensitic transformation behaviors, mechanical and shape recovery properties of the (Ti,Hf)2Ni/Ti-Ni-Hf composite fabricated by SPS were investigated. The microstructure of the (Ti,Hf)2Ni/Ti-Ni-Hf composite consisted of B19′ martensite matrix interspersed with (Ti,Hf)2Ni phases. The larger (Ti,Hf)2Ni phases distributed at the surface of the original alloy powders and formed network structure, while the fine (Ti,Hf)2Ni phases was also observed in the interior of the original alloy powders. The distribution and the amount of the (Ti,Hf)2Ni phases contributed to the lower transformation temperatures of the (Ti,Hf)2Ni/Ti-Ni-Hf composite. In addition, the strengthening of larger (Ti,Hf)2Ni phases with the network structure at the macro level and precipitation strengthening of fine (Ti,Hf)2Ni phases at the micro level played an important role in the better mechanical and shape recovery properties in the sintered Ti-Ni-Hf composite.
