PT Journal AU Salvetr, P Daney, B Novak, P TI Comparison of Ni-Ti-Si Alloy Prepared by Various Powder Metallurgy Routes SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2016 BP 1136 EP 1140 VL 16 IS 5 DI 10.21062/ujep/x.2016/a/1213-2489/MT/16/5/1136 DE Ni-Ti-X alloy; Powder metallurgy; Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis; Spark plasma sintering; Mechanical alloying AB This work describes three ways of preparation of Ni-Ti-Si shape memory alloy by powder metallurgy methods. The self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, combination of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, milling and spark plasma sintering and mechanical alloying with following spark plasma sintering were applied to Ni-Ti-Si powder mixture. The differences in microstructure, phase composition, transformation temperatures and mechanical properties were observed and at the same time these properties were compared with other Ni-Ti and Ni-Ti-X alloys.
