ABSTRACT: Mechanical alloying (MA) is widely applied in the synthesis of blended elemental or prealloyed powders. This work evaluates the effect of milling time on elemental nickel and titanium powders produced by oxi-reduction and the hydrogenation-dehydrogenation process, respectively. The powders are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, particle size, powder yield, and differenti...
ABSTRACT: The present study shows a comparison between two sintering processes, microwave and conventional sintering, for the manufacture of NiTi porous specimens starting from powder mixtures of nickel and titanium hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) milled by mechanical alloying for a short time (25 min). The samples were sintered at 850 degrees C for 15 min and 120 min, respectively. Both samples exhibited p...
