Abstract

Porous NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) were successfully fabricated by low-pressure sintering (LPS), and the pore features have been controlled by adjusting the processing parameters. The porous NiTi SMAs with high porosity (45%) and large pore size (200–350 μm) can be prepared by LPS using TiH1.5 as pore-forming agent. These alloys exhibit isotropic pore structure with three-dimensional interconnected pores. The porous NiTi SMA produced by LPS exhibits superelasticity and mechanical properties superior to that by conventional sintering.
