摘要

In this study, the microstructure, crystal structure, martensitic transformation, and shape memory effect of Cu-18.5Zn-14Sn-2.5Fe (wt.%) single crystal were investigated. The single crystal was obtained solely through direct annealing of a corresponding cast alloy. It comprises three distinct phases: a leaf-type phase corresponding to the α-Cu(Zn, Sn) phase, randomly distributed nanoprecipitates composed of α-Fe, and a β(CuSn) phase as the matrix. The martensitic transformation starting temperature (Ms) for this alloy is 233 K. Compression tests reveal that the single crystal exhibits a complete shape memory effect for deformations below 7%.
