Abstract
An investigation into the effect of melt spinning variables and subsequent heat treatments on Cu-Ni-Al shape memory alloys is described. Transformation temperatures for a wide range of alloys have been measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Heat treatments below 300°C result in a stabilisation of transformation temperatures, whereas those above give rise to extensive precipitation and a gradual fading of the reversible martensite reaction.
