Abstract

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) belong to the group of advanced functional materials for numerous technical applications. Among many known Cu-based shape memory alloys, Cu–Al–Mn ternary alloys are characterized by a combination of good shape memory properties and excellent ductility which makes them commercially attractive.
In this work the Cu-9%Al-8%Mn alloy was prepared by induction melting of pure metals. Microstructure of the alloy was investigated in the as-prepared state, after homogenization annealing at 850 °C and slow cooling, and after quenching from 850 °C using SEM-EDS technique. Transformation temperatures of the quenched alloy were investigated using DSC technique.
