The effects of γ-irradiation on some physical properties of Cu-13.5 wt.%Al-4 wt.%Ni shape memory alloy

The effects of γ-irradiation on some physical properties of CuAlNi shape memory alloy were investigated. The hysteresis (Ap-Mp) value for γ-irradiated specimen was found as about 22.7 ± 0.7 °C. The total oxidation for irradiated alloy rate was calculated. It was observed that the martensite morphology was distorted after γ-irradiation.
