A novel process for synthesizing TiNi and TiNi/TiC particles, called the high-temperature salt-melting method,is discussed in this paper. So far as this method is concerned, the molten salts are a reaction medium that does not take part in the chemical reaction but can be easily dissolved by water washing. With this method, TiNi shape memory alloy and TiNi/TiC composite particles were prepared in molten salts at 680-850℃. TiNi particles, ranging from 100 nm to several microns in diameter, are obtained and the reverse martensitic transformation is confirmed in these particles by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The reaction temperature and the holding time have no significant influence on the particle size, morphology or the reverse martensitic transformation characteristics. In the molten salts, the released heat of the chemical reaction causes the local temperature to rise quickly, which is the key to obtaining the desired particulate composite.
