Elemental titanium (Ti) and nickel (Ni) powders were consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) to fabricate Ti–51%Ni (mole fraction) shape-memory alloys (SMAs). The objective of this study is to enhance the superelasticity of SPS produced Ti–Ni alloy using free forging as a secondary process. Pro...
