Microstructure of Martensite

Why it forms and how it gives rise to the shape-memory effect

af Kaushik ( Bhattacharya

The science of materials tells us that every material contains microscopic features that vary at different length scales. This book presents the case of shape-memory alloys, technologically important materials, explaining the link between microstructure and macroscopic properties. It also includes a sample wire of shape memory material.
