    Abstract

    The effects of cold compaction pressure, TiH2, and NH 4HCO3 on the physical and mechanical properties of porous NiTi fabricated by capsule-free-hot isostatic pressing (CF-HIP) were investigated. The porosities vary from 20 to 48% depending on the pressure. Porous NiTi with as great as 42% porosity and irregular pores can be prepared by the addition of TiH2, whereas 48% porosity and circular pores can be achieved by NH4HCO3 addition. All the porous NiTi fabricated by CF-HIP using these three methods exhibit superelastic behavior that closely matches human bones. © ASM International.
