Cu-Al-Be Ternary alloys are prepared by ingot metallurgy route, which exhibits parent phase or Austenite phase at high temperature and Martensite phase at low temperature and also exhibits shape memory effect upon quenching to lower temperature. The Cu-Al-Be SMA was in the range of 10-12wt% of Al and 0.4-0.5 wt% of Be is chosen for present study and different amount of quaternary element is added to the ternary alloy. The variation in shape memory effect, transformation temperature and microstructure is studied by using bend test, differential scanning calorimeter and Optical microscope.

An interest in NiTi alloys with near stoichiometric composition (55 NiTi) has intensified since they were found to exhibit a unique mechanical shape memory effect at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory some twelve years ago (thus refered to as NITINOL alloys). Since then, the microstructural mechanisms associated with the shape memory effect have been investigated and several interesting engineering applications have appeared.The shape memory effect implies that the alloy deformed from an initial shape will spontaneously return to that initial state upon heating. This behavior is reported to be related to a diffusionless shear transformation which takes place between similar but slightly different CsCl type structures.
