Copper / Zinc / Aluminium Shape Memory Alloys
· The Copper/aluminium binary alloy displays shape memory characteristics but has a transformation temperature that is generally considered too high for practical use. The addition zinc to the system produces a new ternary system, CuZnAl, which is of commercial importance. These alloys have a useful transformation temperature that can be modified to lie between –100 and 100°C. While CuZnAl ...
