Influence of incomplete shape memory deformation on the generation of reactive stresses in single crystals of the Cu–Al–Ni alloy

The influence of preliminary incomplete shape memory (SM) deformation on the generation of reactive stresses in single crystals of the Cu–13.6 wt% Al–4.0 wt% Ni alloy under conditions of constrained SM deformation has been studied. It has been found that, with an increase in the deformation, the value of reactive stresses increases linearly with increasing stress of preliminary deformation of the alloy.
