TiNi/Al shape memory alloy (SMA) composite was fabricated by a vacuum hot-pressing method to investigate the phase , microstructure and mechanical properties. Phase analysis was conducted by XRD . Interface bonding between TiNi wire and Al matrix was observed by using SEM and EDS. Quasi-static and dynamic compressive mechanical properties of the composite were investigated by using electronic universal testing machine (INSTRON5985) and Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB),respectively. The experiment results show that new phases Ni4Ti3 and Ti2Ni precipitined from TiNi wire. Interfacial reactions occurred at the bonding between matrix and TiNi wire, creating a diffusion layer about 2μm thick. Both quasi-static and dynamic compressive mechanical properties are anisotropic , and the degree of the anisotropy increased with the increase of TiNi volume fraction.
