Abstract
ABSTRACTEquiatomic TiNi alloy has been rapidly solidified by melt spinning. The M3 temperature of ribbon is depressed with respect to samples made from elemental powders. This phenomenon is related to grain refinement. Some of the ribbons have been crushed and the consolidation characteristics of the resulting pre-alloyed powder is compared with that of elemental blends. Sintering activity is higher in elemental compacts as a result of the dominant effect of the a]loy formation energy in elemental blends.
