INVESTIGATION OF MONOCLINIC DISTORTION PARAMETERS OF A SHAPE MEMORY CuZnAl ALLOY BY MEANS OF X - RAY DIFRACTION DUE TO THE COOLING RATE EFFECT
Abstract
Monoclinic distortion parameter (s) is important for Copper-based shape memory alloys which transforms from austenitic phase to M18R martensitic phase because the value of s shows the ideally close packed structure[1]. CuZnAl alloys are very sensitive to the thermal effects before and after the transformation, and this effects may cause important changes on crystallographic, morphologic and mechanical properties or the other transformation parameters of the alloys. In this study, the changes which occured on monoclinic distortion parameters of a shape memory CuZnAl alloy due to the effects of various thermal procedures have been calculated by using X-ray diffraction measurements.
