Fatigue crack micromechanisms in a Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy with pseudo-elastic behavior
Shape memory property characterizes the behavior of many Ti based and Cu based alloys (SMAs). In Cu-Zn-Al SMAs, the original shape recovering is due to a bcc phase that is stable at high temperature. After an appropriate cooling process, this phase (β-phase or austenitic phase) transforms reversib...
