The microstructures and transformation behaviour of self-accommodated and mechanically stabilized martensite of Cu69.4Ni3.4Al27.2 (at.%) single crystal were investigated by optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetometry. XRD and TEM analyses showed the presence of both 2H and 18R phases in self-accommodated martensite. The mechanical compression of martensite (& 100 MPa) increased markedly the transformation temperature to austenite, i.e. resulting in significant mechanical stabilization of martensite. The 18R phase disappeared after the compression. This reveals the important role of 18R phase in transformation behaviour of Cu–Ni–Al alloy. Furthermore, we demonstrate that thermo-magnetic measurement is suitable method to analyse the martensitic transformation even for diamagnetic material.
