The properties and the shape memory effect depend, among other things, on chemical composition, as well as the method of shape memory alloy (SMA) production. One of the manufacturing methods that leads to the amorphous/nanocrystalline SMA is high-energy ball milling combined with annealing. Using this technique, an SMA memory alloy, with the nominal chemical composition of Ni25Ti50Cu25, was produced from commercial elemental powders (purity −99.7%). The structure and morphology were characterized (at the various stages of its production) by the use of X-ray diffraction, as well as electron microscopy (both scanning and transmission). Choosing the appropriate grinding time made it possible to produce an NiTiCu alloy with a different crystallite size. Its average size changed from 6.5 nm (after 50 h) to about 2 nm (100 h). Increasing the grinding time up to 140 h resulted in the formation of areas that showed the B19 martensite and the Ti2(Ni,Cu) phase with the average crystallite size of about 6 nm (as milled). After crystallization, the average size increased to 11 nm.

CNTs/Al composites were fabricated by high energy ball milling. The phase structure and consti- tuent of the preparation process were analyzed. The interface reaction and the formation process of the interface reaction product Al4C3were discussed by thermodynamics and kinetics. The result shows that no Al4C3can be found in Al-CNTs composite powders fabricated by high energy ball milling. Al4C3exists in the inter- face after pressureless sintering. And no appreciable amount of Al4C3was observed in CNTs/Al composites directly by powder metallurgy. It shows that high energy ball milling can benifit the interface reaction. And the purified CNTs, never milled, is stable in the preparation process of CNTs/Al composites by powder metallurgy.
