Abstract
The initially spherical titanium (Ti) powder particles were flattened to 'pan-cake” shape during Ball milling (BM) of the Ti-Ni powder mixture. Ultrafine Ni particles coated the pancakes of Ti particles after the final milling process of 8 h (h). The XRD patterns of the milled TiNi powders did not show obvious alloying. However, analysis of the (1 1 1) planes revealed a slight shifting on peak positioning which is attributable to powder deformation. Thermal analysis of unmilled Ti50Ni powder exposed the Ni Curie point at ~353 °C. The normal α → β phase transformation in CP Ti was suppressed due to the presence of Ni powder. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the milled and annealed powders.
