Recently, the commercial products of NiTi alloys have been dominated largely by medical related products due to its good biocompatibility [1], high corrosion resistance, and lower apparent elastic modulus apart from its unique behaviour of pseudoelasticity and shape memory effect.
While most current application of NiTi is made of conventional alloys in solid forms such as wires, plates and thin wall tubes, keen interest have been given to novel physical forms i.e porous, thin film and functional gradient of NiTi.
The formidable challenge of obtaining single phase NiTi from elemental powders via solid state is the formation of other intermetallic compounds such as Ti2Ni and TiNi3 which may deterioriate the shape memory behavior of NiTi [7].
Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the use of MgH2 in combination with CaH2 as in-situ reducing agent to provide a non oxidizing environment in order to produce single phase NiTi.

So in this study the aim is to manufacture steel/Al-foam core/steel sandwich panels by rolling of two steel-face sheet and Al-Si powders.
SEM and EDS of the compound interface are investigated.
It was concluded that a metallurgy bonding interface was formed by diffusion reaction and a brittle compound generated.
And FeAl3 was a kind of brittle compound, so when tearing the steel sheet it was just ripping out from the FeAl3 layer.

Tungsten carbide imparts the alloys the necessary strength and wear resistance, whereas cobalt contributes to the toughness and ductility of the alloys.
Special alloys, like nickel based alloys and titanium based alloys are difficult to machine especially due to the inherent characteristic of retaining good mechanical properties at high temperatures.
Coatings based on Ti containing compounds are used because they have greater resistance to wear and good cutting properties at high speed.

Recently it was shown that these compounds can exist for different compositions with the same type of crystal structure [8-12].
The aim of this work is the comparative analysis of magnetic properties of RFe11Ti and RFe9Ti single crystals (R=Ho,Er).
Intermetallic compounds with ThMn12 structure have a wide compositional homogeneity region.
Below 50 K both compounds have "easy cone" anisotropy magnetic phase.

The resulting mixture was washed using distilled water to remove potassium compounds and impurities on the surface up to vacuum filtration to pH 7.
Then to determine the distribution of metal alloys on the carbon surface, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests were carried out.
The samples tested were variations of carbon deposited by metal alloys.
This can be seen also in Figures 2 and 3, for NAC1 and NAC2 pores that were initially visible and then disappeared after the addition of metal alloy to carbon, indicating that the pores were closed by metal alloys.
Regarding the dispersion of metal alloys on carbon, it can be declared successful, because the location of the metal alloy is right above the carbon.

Among the possibilities, some works have been carried out testing cerium compounds; hydrocarbon molecules and treatments with silane [1,9].
The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of chromium free hydrothermal treatments on the corrosion resistance of TSA anodized AA7475-T761 alloy.
This result shows that the precipitation of cerium compounds occurs during the sealing treatment and helps in sealing the anodic film.
A faster kinetics of pores sealing seemingly occurred during hydrothermal treatments involving cerium compounds.
