The present application relates to the technical field of
powder injection molding material, and particularly relates to a Y-containing Ni-Ti based
shape memory alloy and a molding process thereof, which comprises the following
atomic mass percentage chemical components: Ti: 49.6-50.0%, Y: 0.2-0.6%; the balance is Ni and inevitable impurities; wherein, the chemical component Y is added in the form of Y
powder in the
shape memory alloy molding process, and is mixed with
NiTi alloy powder by mechanical ball milling to form mixed powder, and then
metal injection molding is performed. Compared with element Ti, Y has higher
oxygen affinity, can reduce or eliminate the formation of TiO2, Ti4Ni2O x phases in the
sintering process; the addition of Y reduces the consumption of Ti, ensures that the ratio of Ni and Ti is within a reasonable range, and the
oxide formed by the Y element is within the micron range, which has little effect on the shape
memory effect and mechanical properties of the
NiTi alloy; the
NiTi alloy component in the present application is suitable for
powder metallurgy process, especially
powder injection molding process (MIM).
