Abstract

The mechanical properties and microstructure of copper base shape memory alloys are relatively 
well known, while data on thermal properties (thermal conductivity, specific heat, and 
temperature conductivity) are not available. In the frame of our investigation work thermal 
properties of rapidly solidified Cu-Al-Ni-Mn alloy were determined. 
As the first part of the work, a study and evaluation of the operation of the device for determining 
the thermal properties of Hot Disk TPS 2200, today one of the more modern and high-quality 
instruments for determining thermal properties has been carried out. 
In the second part of the work, the measurements and analysis of thermal properties of rapidly 
solidified Cu-Al-Ni-Mn shape memory alloy in accordance with the standard ISO 22007-2 at 
ambient and elevated temperatures have been done.
