摘 要：<正>The influences of 2.5wt%Mn addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the Cu-11.9wt%Al-3.8wt%Ni shape memory alloy（SMA） were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,transmission electron microscopy（TEM）,and differential scanning calorimeter（DSC）.The experimental results show that Mn addition influences considerably the austenite-martensite transformation temperatures and the kind of martensite in the Cu-Al-Ni alloy.The martensitic transformation changes from a mixedβ1→β’1+γ’1 transformation to a singleβ1→β’1 martensite transformation together with a decrease in transformation temperatures.In addition,the observations reveal that the grain size of the Cu-Al-Ni alloy can be controlled with the addition of 2.5wt%Mn and thus its mechanical properties can be enhanced.The Cu-Al-Ni-Mn alloy exhibits better mechanical properties with the high ultimate compression strength and ductility of 952 MPa and 15%,respectively.These improvements are attributed to a decrease in grain size.However,the hardness decreases from Hv 230 to Hv 140 with the Mn addition.
