Effect of alloying constituents on the martensitic phase formation in some Cu-based SMAs

The paper discusses the attempt made to improve upon the transition temperatures and amount of martensite formation in Cu–Al alloys with alloying additions of Mn, Ni and Zn in varying proportions and combinations. The alloys have been subjected to heat treatment cycles to improve upon the microstruc...
