Abstract

An unexpected 18R martensite to martensite transformation was obtained in Cu-Zn-Al alloy during the training process for 18R single crystal preparation: this later was induced from a β1 single crystal by application of a constant tensile force at room temperature and by lowering the temperature until β1 -->18R transformation occurs. At this condition, and after several cycles, some plates of a new phase were observed to appear in a sudden way inside the 18R single crystal region. By studying the transformation characteristics as given by elongation temperature curves and trace analysis we conclude that this new phase plates are 2H martensite.
