Stabilization of martensite in Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloys: effects of γ precipitates and thermal cycling Article uri icon

abstract

  • Cu-Zn-Al alloys with different distributions of γ phase precipitates with and without thermal cycling were aged at room temperature. The martensite distributions of the alloys were examined and compared to the stabilization behavior found in precipitate-free samples.
