Some Electrical Properties of CuAlZn Alloys

Abstract

By using SMAs formulations based on Cu-Zn-Al, the electrical resistivity by employment of an Agilent 4294A Precision Impedance Analyzer was analysed. It results that the different percentages of the metals which make up an SMA, do have an important influence upon resistivity. In particular, for one of the analyzed samples, it was observed that the SME was manifested as a form of “electric properties” memory. The experimental data was fitted using both Gaussian and polynomial fitting.
