orous NiTi by creep expansion of argon-filled pores
نویسندگان
چکیده
NiTi powders are densified in the presence of argon gas, whose initial pressure is varied between 1 and 33 atm, to create NiTi billets containing isolated Ar-filled pores. Upon vacuum annealing, the pressurized pores expand by creep of the surrounding NiTi matrix at rates which are in agreement with a simple analytical model up to 16% porosity. Beyond this porosity, foaming becomes very slow, as pores connect with each other and with the specimen surface where the gas escapes. This is due to failure of previous NiTi powder boundaries weakened by oxides insoluble in NiTi; this mechanism does not occur in Ti eywords:

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.
متن کاملSolid-state foaming of Ti–6Al–4V by creep or superplastic expansion of argon-filled pores
Ti–6Al–4V foams are produced by the expansion of pressurized argon pores trapped in billets created by powder metallurgy. Pore expansion during thermal cycling (840–1030 C, which induces transformation superplasticity in Ti–6Al–4V) improves both the foaming rate (by reducing the flow stress) and the final porosity (by delaying fracture of the pores and subsequent escape of the gas), as compared...
متن کاملHigh strength, low stiffness, porous NiTi with superelastic properties.
Near-stoichiometric NiTi with up to 18% closed porosity was produced by expansion at 1200 degrees C of argon-filled pores trapped by powder metallurgy within a NiTi billet. When optimally heat-treated, NiTi with 6-16% porosity exhibits superelasticity, with recoverable compressive strains up to 6% at a maximum compressive stress up to 1700 MPa. The apparent Young's modulus of NiTi with 16% poro...
متن کاملSound Propagation in Capillary-tube-type Porous Media with Small Pores in the Capillary Walls
Sound propagation i gas-filled capillary-tube-type orous media was investigated. The capillary tubes were taken to be nominally straight with very small pores in the walls of the capillary tubes. The complex wave number and the characteristic mpedance of such media were evaluated. Application to ceramic samples having capillary pores with square cross sections and porous walls is developed as a...
متن کاملNiobium Wires as Space Holder and Sintering Aid for Porous NiTi
When NiTi powder compacts containing Nb wires are heated above 1 170 8C, each Nb wire reacts with adjacent NiTi powders to form a eutectic liquid which wicks into the space between the remaining NiTi powders. This creates a macropore at the location of the Nb wire while eliminating the microporosity between NiTi powders which is filled with a NiTi/Nb eutectic phase after solidification. This no...
