Martensitic stabilisation phenomenon in the copper-based shape memory alloys has been invariably related to thermomechanical treatments and post-quench history. This phenomenon degrades shape memory properties and reduces their potential for industrial applications. In the present work, superelastic

✦ Synopsis
The aim of this study is to analyze the martensitic transformation in a shape memory alloy during a superelastic loading, focusing on internal strains, stresses and phases fractions. The behavior of the austenite phase is studied by X-ray diffraction stress analysis during in situ tensile test at room temperature. Both single-crystal and polycrystal samples have been investigated. The results are discussed with the aim to correlate the microstructural variations with the local stress state evolution in the austenitic phase while variants of martensite form and develop during a superelastic loading.
