A method to manufacture a porous Cu–Al–Ni shape memory alloy by powder metallurgy using space holders is presented. Two aluminium powders with different particle morphologies were employed to investigate their influence on phase formation, microstructure and mechanical properties. The variation of the relative amount of space holders in the mixture allows to obtain different porosities. Samples prepared with irregular-shaped aluminium powder include both 18R and 2H martensitic phases and exhibit the shape memory effect and pseudoelastic behaviour under uniaxial compression tests. In contrast, the samples made with aluminium flakes present the α phase accompanying the 18R martensitic phase, and do not exhibit the shape memory effect. Both the aluminium flakes flat shape and the higher proportion of aluminium oxide associated with its larger surface area to volume ratio hindered the interdiffusion of the metals, resulting in an aluminium-depleted martensitic phase surrounded by an aluminium oxide-rich layered structure.
