采用粉末冶金工艺制备Ni2FeSb三元形状记忆合金。利用膨胀实验研究合金的烧结动力学；采用XRD和SEM分别考察粉末样品和烧结样品的显微组织和形貌；测定烧结样品表面的显微硬度。结果表明：研磨时间对粉末样品的形状、晶粒尺寸和晶体结构的均匀性具有显著影响。经较长时间研磨的样品具有较高的相对密度和较均匀的元素分布，且为L21和马氏体相，这些性能使合金具有形状记忆功能。在温度为750~1273 K条件下，合金的激活能为109~283 kJ/mol，这表明烧结过程主要由体积扩散控制。增加研磨时间和加热速率，合金的显微硬度得到提高。

A ternary Ni2FeSb shape memory alloy was fabricated by powder metallurgy route. Sintering kinetics was estimated from dilatometry tests;whereas the microstructure and morphology of the powder and consolidated bulk samples were evaluated by XRD and SEM, respectively. Microhardness tests were performed on the surface of sintered samples. The results indicated that milling time has an effect on the shape and particle size as well as the homogeneity of the crystalline structures of the powders. Samples with longer milling time presented higher relative densities, better distribution of the elements on the alloy as well as the L21 and martensite phases, which will give the shape memory effect. The estimated activation energy values ranged from 109 to 282 kJ/mol at temperatures between 750 and 1273 K, indicating that sintering is controlled mainly by volume diffusion. Microhardness was improved by increasing the milling time and the heating rate.
