Abstract Influence of the grain size and ordering degree of the parent phase onthe shape memory recovery in a Cu-25.62 Zn-3.97 Al-0.0018B (wt-%) memory alloyis investigated. A mathematical relationship is set up between the recovery ratio andordering degree, probability of atoms at their ordered sites, grain size, the widthof the grain boundary affected regions, the stress during deformation, as well as thecritical shear stress. Shape memory effect reaches a maximum with varying grainsize and increases linearly with increasing ordering parameter, that agrees well withexperimental results.
