Abstract
The alloys with Thermoelastic Martensitic Transformation, like the Cu-Zn-Al, exhibit, after a thermomechanical treatment named "training", The Two Way Shape Memory Effect. We have compared internal friction measurements versus amplitude for a "trained" and a "virgin" sample. The obtained results are coherent with the existence in the "trained" sample of particular sets of dislocations. These dislocations generates orientated internal stresses, which favour particular martensite variants during the direct transformation.
