Structure and Martensitic Transformation in Ti50Ni(50-X)NbX (X=5; 10) Alloy Produced by Powder Metallurgy

Article Preview

Abstract:

The TiNiNb alloys with nominal composition containing 5at.% and 10at.% of niobium, substituted for nickel, were produced using a powder metallurgy. Alloys were produced from the initial powders of titanium, nickel and niobium with purity about 99.7%. Mixed powders were sintered at vacuum furnace at various sintering condition. Alloys showed the presence of the reversible martensitic transformation occurring between the B2 phase and the monoclinic martensite B19'. Apart from the presence of the transformable phases, also the non-transformable phase Ti2Ni was identified. Moreover, in sintered alloy (shorter sintering time), some amount of the niobium was stated. Increase of the niobium content also increased characteristic temperatures of the martensitic transformation.
