The effect of ageing on the reverse martensitic phase transformation (MT) behaviors of the Cu-11.9Al-2.5Mn (wt.%) alloy was studied and correlated to the microstructures changes in the present study. It is found that both the temperatures and the heights of the internal friction peaks arising from t...
