On the transformation behaviour of NiTi particulate reinforced AA2124 composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transformation behaviour of AA2124 alloys reinforced NiTi particulates of 10 vol pct and 20 vol pct has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermoelectric power (TEP) and internal friction (IF). Addition of NiTi particulates increase the damping capacity as well as the precipitation kinetics of AA2124 composites with respect to the base AA2124. Heat treatments performed to change the matrix condition do not alter the transformation significantly, other than homogeneising the Al level in the particulates, which is present due to the preceeding extrusion treatment. The presence of Al in NiTi stabilizes the R-phase transformation but the Ms remains stable. Preprint submitted to Journal of Alloys and Compounds 19 September 2008

An experimental study was conducted to examine the room-temperature fatigue crack-growth characteristics of shape-memory NiTi matrix composites reinforced with 10 and 20 vol.% of TiC particles. Microstructural characterization of these hot-isostatically-pressed materials shows that the TiC particles do not react with the NiTi matrix and that they lack any texture. Overall fatigue crack-growth c...
