Abstract
Novel aluminium (AA2124) matrix composites reinforced with 10 and 20 vol.% NiTi particulates have been fabricated by using powder metallurgy processing techniques. It is shown that in the as-extruded condition the composite materials show enhanced damping capacity and improved compressive strength compared to the unreinforced material produced similarly.
