Abstract
SHS Process has been applied to the production of ceramic and metallic compound materials as powder metallurgy method.
Authors have examined the mechanism of the high speed reaction in Ni-Ti compacts and made a porous shape memory alloy from the compacts under microgravity by use of a drop shaft.
In the results, it was recognized that SHS process showed the effect of rapid heating and cooling in a short duration during microgravity experiment.
In this paper, the author discribes the reviews of the recent studies on the Ti-Ni intermetallic compound through a new processing of appling the SHS reaction and microgravity environment.
