Conclusion
The newly devised model makes it possible to determine the heat treatment regimes of alloys of the system Cu−Al−Mn with similar temperature manifestations of ESM, with the attainment of the maximal thermomechanical characteristics possible for each group of alloys. As a result of heat treatment in the optimal regimes, ternary intermetallic compounds segregate in the structure of these alloys, and they improve the parameters of the ESM. Consequently, for widespread use in engineering we recommend alloys of the system Cu−Al−Mn which are distinguished from the known alloys with the ESM (based on titanium nickelide) by the accessibility of the initial materials and simpler production technology.
