1.1. Phase Stabilities in Noble Metal Alloys: Difficulties in their Determination and the Role of
the Martensit& Transformation The question why a metal or an alloy crystallizes in the …

The crystal structure and internal defects of equiatomic TiNi martensites have been studied
using the techniques of electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and X‐ray diffraction. The …

The formation of martensite in shape memory alloys having 2H, 3R, 9R and 18R periodic
stacking order structures occurs by the localized formation of four self-accommodating …

Quenched beta-phase alloys in systems based on the noble metals are often
thermodynamically metastable. A review of the information derived from transmission …

Morphologies associated with the formation and deformation of martensite and the shape
memory recovery process have been studied in single crystals of Cu-Zn alloys. On cooling …

The shape memory effect, by which a material, apparently plastically deformed, reverts to its
original shape upon heating to some higher temperature, has been reviewed and discussed …

This investigation describes the deformation behavior and shape memory mechanism in
internally faulted 18R martensites in the Cu Zn Ga and Cu Al Zn systems. The 18R …

The variation of the elastic constants of four single crystals of β 2, brass (B2 structure) was
measured as a function of temperature. The concentration of the alloys ranged from 40.9 to …

The shape memory effect associated with the reverse transformation of deformed martensite,
pseudoelastic behavior involved in stress-induced martensite formation and the reversion of …

Mechanical properties associated with pseudoelastic phenomena in Cu Zn single crystals
have been studied and characterized. As a result it is possible to clarify superelastic …
