Abstract

The TiNi shape memory alloy wires were plasma coated by α-Al2O3 ceramics and afterwards they were cast into Ti6Al4V or Ti6Al1.5V2.5Nb (Ti-alloy) matrix. The wire fibers melt and the alumina ceramics reacts with both TiNi and Ti-alloy if cooling rate is small. The interphases which are formed are Ti2(Al, Ni) and Ti3AL-type phases, respectively. The structure of TiNi wires changes to dendritic one, Ti-alloys contain 10 to 15% of primary α and transformed β phase. The optimal conditions for rolling are 900°C with reductions of 5%. At this conditions all the constituents of composite material can be deformed plastically. The adhesive strength of TiNi/Al2O3 is 60 MPa.
