Zusammenfassung: | A method of making a composite material by combining a powdered matrix material with a second material, to form a composite comprising an at least partially martensitic phase in a matrix. The at least partially martensitic phase may be in the form of particles or wires or layers and it may contain elements such as Zr, Hf, Cu, Nb, Mn, Pd, Pt and/or Fe to stabilise the martensite. Furthermore, the composite may be manufactured by hot isostatic pressing, sintering, extrusion, forging or adding the second material in liquid form. In a specific example, the composite comprises 5-60 vol % martensitic nickel-titanium particles (of composition 48-52 atomic % of each of Ni and Ti) in a 6061 aluminium alloy matrix and is formed by mixing powdered aluminium with Ni-Ti powder, consolidating and then hot isostatic pressing. |
