Abstract
The mechanical property of a cast shape memory alloy (SMA) plate from self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) ingot was investigated. DSC and Tensile test specimens were cast by lost-wax process from SHS ingot. The compositions of these ingots were Ti-50.0at%Ni and Ti-50.8at%Ni. The heat treatment conditions were 400℃-600℃ for DSC and tensile test. Transformation temperatures were measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Mechanical properties were measured by a tensile test at 17 degree Celsius. The effect of heat treatment conditions were investigated this study.
