Abstract

Phase transformations in a Cu-AI alloy which was in the martensitic state were examined by the use of differential thermal analysis. The influence of the speed of temperature changes on the character of the phase transformation was determined. The new sequence of phase transformations in martensite is discussed and related to the physical properties (the “shape memory effect”). Characteristic temperatures and heats of transformation in the alloy are also estimated.
