Abstract
The effect of the composition and maximum cycling temperature on the microstructure of Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys is investigated. For this purpose, two sets of alloys with constant Al content (close to 10.7 wt%) and Mn (7.0 wt%) were prepared. The influence of the composition on the microstructure of Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys was carried out in chill casting alloys, annealed for 5 min at 170°C. The effect of maximum cycling temperature was carried out in a Cu-10.8% wt Al-4.0% wt Mn alloy. The reverse transformation is not detected at temperatures below 400°C. Thermal cycling between 400°C and 510°C produces the precipitation of different phases, which varies the initial martensite composition and their characteristic transformation temperatures.
