Abstract:Shape memory alloys with two different weight percentages of CuAlBe were irradiated with a 40 kGy constant gamma radiation dose, and the resulting thermal and structural changes in the alloys were examined. Changes in enthalpy and in the transformation temperature of the alloys were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermodynamic parameters of alloy samples were calculated. Microstructural changes were determined by X-ray analysis. Microstructural changes were verified by metallographi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
