Abstract

Highly dense nanostructured TiNi with a relative density of up to 99 % was obtained within two minutes by pulsed current activated sintering under a pressure of 80 MPa. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and prohibits grain growth in nano-structured materials. The microstructural and mechanical properties of the dense TiNi produced by PCAS were investigated.
