The paper reports some austenitization effects on the α-phase morphology in a tempered
martensitic Cu–21.57 Zn–7 Al (wt.%) shape memory alloy (SMA). By means of differential …

A fragment of a Cu-15Zn-6Al (mass%) shape memory alloy (SMA), in hot rolled-water
quenched condition, was subjected to thermal cycling performed by means of a differential …

Different fragments of martensitic Cu-14.86 Zn-5.81 Al-0.5 Fe (mass.%) shape memory alloy
were subjected to heating, up to 453 K, with different rates ranging from 1.66× 10− 2 K s− 1 …

A shape memory alloy based on copper was obtained through a classic melting method.
The material was analyzed in heat treated and deformed states through scanning electrons …

The thermally induced reversible diffusionless martensitic transformation, that governs the
mechanism of shape memory alloys (SMAs), can be conveniently illustrated, on differential …

The enhanced fatigue resistance of superelastic Cu‐Al‐Mn shape memory wires was
investigated via a bamboo‐like grain structure obtained by cyclic heat treatment (CHT). Our …

The reproducibility of thermally induced reversible martensitic transformation, occurring in a
Cu–15Zn–6Al (mass-) shape memory alloy during heating, was studied on three different …

Lamellar thermal actuators, for temperature control in hydraulic systems, were manufactured
from a Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy and trained in bending, between 100 and 500 cycles …

At an international scale the shape memory alloys (SMA) used mainly for commercial belong
