Martensite destabilization in Au7Cu5Al4 shape-memory alloy

Aging-induced changes in the austenite peak (AP) temperature of Au7Cu5Al4 shape-memory alloy are investigated. Whereas heat treating the parent phase at temperatures >140 degrees C or aging the martensite for long times at room temperature both stabilized the AP to approximately 80 degrees C,...
