【 摘 要 】

This paper reports on the possibility to obtain Cu-Zn-Al films with 2H martensitic structure by fixing the valence electron concentration per atom (e/a) approximate to 1.53. Films with thickness of approximate to 5 mu m with micrometric grains show martensitic transformation temperature and hysteresis values close to the ones found in bulk samples. This result is different to the one found in Cu-Zn-Al thin films with 18R martensitic structure and similar microstructure, in which the hysteresis presents an increment (approximate to 10 times) compared to bulk samples. This difference can be associated to the intrinsic nature of the 2H transformation which requires more undercooling to produce the nucleation of the martensitic phase. The driving force for the burst-type martensitic transformation decreases the influence of the microstructure in the transformation. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
