| dc.description.abstract | The research involved in this thesis was conducted to develop a procedure for producing cylindrical specimens of NiTi shape memory alloy for mechanical testing from elemental powders by hot isostatic pressing. Powders were mixed to ratios of 50.0 and 50.6at.% Ni, packed and sealed into stainless steel containers, hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) at 20OMPa and 900-1050 'C, and machined to expose a gauge section of consolidated NiTi material for thennomechanical testing. Some samples of material were used for DSC analysis to determine transfor-nation temperatures as well as for microscopic examination. Effects of post-consolidation heat treatments on the material microstructure and transformation behavior were measured. Specimens of approximately 99% theoretical density and nearly homogeneous NiTi microstructures were produced. The specimen were mechanically tested in tension and compression and were shown to exhibit shape memory properties. | en |
