Porous TiNiCu ternary shape memory alloys （SMAs） were successfully fabricated by powder metallurgy method. The microstructure, martensitic transformation behavior, damping performance and mechanical properties of the fabricated alloys were intensively studied. It is found that the apparent density of alloys decreases with increasing the Cu content, the porous Ti50Ni40Cu10 alloy exhibits wide endothermic and exothermic peaks arisen from the hysteresis of martensitic transformations, while the porous Ti50Ni30Cu20 alloy shows much stronger and narrower endothermic and exothermic peaks owing to the B2-B19 transformation taking place easily. Moreover, the porous Ti50Ni40Cu10 alloy shows a lower shape recovery rate than the porous Ti50Ni50 alloy, while the porous Ti50Ni30Cu20 alloy behaves reversely. In addition, the damping capacity （or internal friction, IF） of the porous TiNiCu alloys increases with increasing the Cu content. The porous Ti50Ni30Cu20 alloy has very high equivalent internal friction, with the maximum equivalent internal friction value five times higher than that of the porous Ti50Ni50 alloy.
通过不同温度和时间的固溶制度研究了固溶处理工艺对改良铸造铝硅合金(0.35%Mg,7.0%Si,0.2%Ni,2.0%Cu,0.8%RE,0.2%Mn,0.1%V,其余为铝)组织和性能的影响。实验结果表明,在495℃×5h进行固溶处理时,改良铸造铝硅合金具有最好的综合力学性能:Rm=239MPa,硬度=103HBS,A=6.24%;改良铸造铝硅合金于495℃×5h固溶淬火析出富含Si、Cu、Ni以及RE元素的Si、Al Cu、Al6Cu3Ni、Alx Cu Ce相。这些相的存在,有利于提高合金的力学性能和高温性能。合金经过热处理后以韧性断裂为主要方式并伴有准解理面现象,拉伸断口微观形貌主要表现为韧窝断口特征,有些存在少量撕裂棱。
