The development of new shape memory alloys with high martensitic transformation temperature increases the potential for applications. The development and use of these new alloys depends on the stability of the structure ...

Experiments exploring the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) during the martensitic transformation led to the discovery of a novel phenomenon, here called “Spontaneous magnetic emission” (SME). This new phenomenon was identified ...

Isothermal treatments at 413 K were performed in Cu–Al–Mn shape memory alloy samples, to study their effects on the martensitic transformation. This procedure, within the miscibility gap, produces spinodal decomposition. ...

A simple interparticle potential for a set of classical identical particles is used to model martensitic transformations in two dimensions. The influence of the symmetry of the phases involved in the transformation on the ...

The effect of Ag additions on the reverse martensitic transformation in the Cu-10 mass% Al alloy was studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA), optical (OM) and scanning electron microscopies (SEM) and X-ray ...

Shape memory alloys, like B2–CuZr, are a class of materials that have the ability to recover their original shape when subjected to specific thermomechanical conditions. In this work, we carry out molecular dynamics ...

Metallic glasses with embedded crystalline phases have been experimentally reported to exhibit enhanced mechanical properties. To further explore this observation, we employed molecular dynamics simulations to study ...

The stress induced martensitic transformations between different metastable phases in Cu–Al–Be shapememory alloy single crystals were assessed experimentally. In particular, the successive stress induced transformations ...
