Abstract
A process for producing a shape memory effect alloy having a desired transition temperature. The process includes the steps of: providing at least one prealloyed powder of a shape memory effect alloy having a chemistry similar to that of the to be produced alloy and a transition temperature below the desired transition temperature of the to be produced alloy; providing at least one other prealloyed powder of a shape memory effect alloy having a chemistry similar to that of the to be produced alloy and a transition temperature in excess of the desired transition temperature of the to be produced alloy; blending said prealloyed powders; consolidating said blended powders; and thermally diffusing said consolidated powders so as to provide a substantially homogeneous alloy of the desired transition temperature.
