摘要

Shape memory alloy composites have shown great potential in combining high strength and excellent functional properties. This study focuses on (TiB/La2O3)/Ti-13V-3Al composites fabricated by adding LaB6 and using hot extrusion. The TiB whiskers and La2O3 particles are in situ synthesized. And their orientation and distribution are meticulously designed. High-energy XRD shows that the composite mainly consists of α″ martensite phase, minor β phase, and TiB/La2O3 reinforcements. The microstructural gradient is observed by combining SEM and TEM. During heating, reverse martensitic transformation (α″ → β) occurs at As = 502 K, Ap = 553 K, and Af = 581 K, with activation energy of 157.60 kJ/mol. The composites exhibit the tensile strength of 894 MPa and elongation of 13%. The composite can achieve a recoverable strain of 4.6% at 6% pre-strain. The (TiB/La2O3)/Ti-V-Al shape memory composites possesses both excellent mechanical load-bearing and shape memory performances, promoting the application of shape memory alloys in the engineering field.
