The Effect of Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Cu-Al-Mn Shape Memory Alloy

The 8-mm diameter bars of Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys were produced by continuous casting technique. The samples were characterised using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy along with EDX analysis. The continuous cast alloy revealed some martensitic phase, which, after quenching, l...
