Abstract
The thermodynamic stability of Cu-Zn-Al-Mn-Zr (CZAMZ) and Cu-Zn-Al (CZA) alloys was studied to determine the martensite phase aging which may cause martensite stabilization and destroy the thermoelasticity of martensitic transformation. Martensite phase aging was performed at 50 °C and changes in transition temperatures were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. Martensite stabilization was observed in the alloys when martensite phase aging was performed. Less aging effects and better thermodynamic stability were seen on the CZAMZ alloy. Appropriate phase aging can reduced vacancies pinning at the martensite boundaries and stabilized martensite can be revitalized.
