Porous Ti -50.5at.% Ni shape memory alloy (SMA) samples with a range of porosities were prepared by spacer sintering. The porous structure of the alloy was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The phase constituents of the porous TiNi alloy were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The shape memory behavior of the porous TiNi alloy was investigated using loading–unloading compression tests. Results indicate that the porous TiNi alloy exhibits superelasticity and the recoverable strain by the superelasticity decreases with the increase of porosity. After a prestrain of 7%, the superelastically recovered strains for the porous TiNi alloy samples with porosities of 46%, 59%, 69% and 77% are 2.0%, 1.8%, 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively. The pores in the TiNi alloy samples cause stress/strain concentration, as well as crack initiation, which adversely affect the shape memory behavior of the porous TiNi alloy.

The shape memory effect, superelasticity and two-way shape memory effect of Ni-rich Ti-Ni sputter-deposited thin films were evaluated quantitatively. The results indicated that they are almost comparable to those of bulk specimens. On the other hand, Ti-rich Ti-Ni thin films were found to exhibit a good shape memory behavior owing to a peculiar fine microstructure unlike bulk specimens. Addition of Cu or Pd to a Ti-50at.%Ni thin film was also confirmed to improve the shape memory behavior. These results suggest that shape memory thin films are a promising material for microactuators.
