Abstract
We have studied the characteristics of single-interface single-variant martensitic transformations in Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloys with a high resolution thermal device (temperature resolution 0.003 K, optical resolution up to 1 µm) Two observations are presented : the appearence of an intrinsic thermoelasticity and the possibility to get two β-variants from a martensite single-crystal. The first phenomena is a phase growth problem (the interaction between interface and dislocations), whilst the second depends on the nucleation of the β phase and permits the breakdown of the SME.
