Abstract: A novel TiNi/AlSi composite with high compressive strength and high damping capacity was obtained by infiltrating Al-12%Si alloy into porous TiNi alloy. It had been found that the high compressive strength (440 MPa) of TiNi/AlSi composite is due to the increase of effective carrying area after infiltrating Al-12%Si alloy, while the high damping capacity is contributed to TiNi carcass, Al-12%Si filling material and micro-slipping at the interface.
