Comparative Electron-Microscopic Study of Shape Memory Alloys of Systems Cu-Ni-Al and Ni-Mn-Al

Abstract

The microstructure of Cu-Ni-Al and Ni-Mn-Al alloys in a wide range of chemical compositions has been studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy methods, diffraction of electrons and X-rays. The phase composition of all the investigated alloys and the mechanism of the fracture under deformation have been determined.
