Electrical resistivity behavior of an electroplated-annealed Cu-Zn-Al shape memory alloy
Abstract
The electrical resistivity behavior of the fabricated Cu-Zn-Al Shape Memory Alloy was conducted at the temperature range of 150-300K. The ternary alloy was produced via electroplating-annealing method and then quenched under iced-water medium. Transformation temperature of 278 K or 4.85°C is observed in the electrical resistivity curve whereas the calculated resistivity for cooling and heating curves is 4.675 x 10-8 and 2.025 x 10-8 Ωm respectively.
