✦ Synopsis
AbstractÐA uni®ed thermodynamic analysis has been developed which allows the combined complex eects of applied stresses and alloy composition on the martensite start temperature, M s (s), to be explained and predicted. In this uni®ed analysis, a thermodynamic analysis of the eect of applied stress on the relative stability of the high and low temperature phase is combined with existing thermodynamic descriptions of the alloy system. The calculated results are compared with experimental results for the g 4 e martensitic transformation in Fe±Mn±Si shape memory alloys. For single crystals, the comparison shows that the in-¯uence of applied stresses can be directly predicted with a reasonable accuracy for a wide composition range. By integrating a polycrystallinity parameter in the analysis it is shown that the calculations are also valid for polycrystalline alloys. Application of this analysis to experimental values of M s (s) can also generate useful data for future optimizations of the thermodynamic description of several alloy systems. # 1998 Acta Metallurgica Inc.

Fe-Mn-Si is a well-characterized ternary shape memory alloy. Research on this alloy has consistently shown that the addition of 5-6 wt.% Si is desirable to enhance the reversibility of stress-induced martensite vis-a `-vis shape memory. This paper examines the effect of Si on the morphology and the
The structure of a Cu-13.67Al-4.28Ni-0.54Mn-0.14Fe (wt.%) shape memory alloy was analyzed in the initial condition, during a heating-cooling cycle, and during a room temperature loading-unloading mechanical cycle. A fully reversible martensitic transformation was revealed which was associated with a
