%J 材料科学技术学报 %D 1997 %I %X We propose a thermodynamic theory that permits us to connect the size of the temperature hysteresis loop to the interfacial energy between martensite and austenite. The free energy is a function of four variables, viz. deformation of austenite, deformation of martensite, phase fraction and temperature. A diagonal line inside the hysteresis loop in the deformation-temperaturediagram is identified as the line of unstable phase equilibrium. Upon reaching this line the phasemixture loses its (meta-)stability and the transformation from one phase to the other shouldoccur. The theoretical results are supported by experiments on NiTi and CuAINi specimens. %U http://www.alljournals.cn/get_abstract_url.aspx?pcid=5B3AB970F71A803DEACDC0559115BFCF0A068CD97DD29835&cid=84529CA2B2E519AC&jid=324DC3CAB22330DB19158AE0A9B7BFA5&aid=D04F59BED63E4020&yid=5370399DC954B911&vid=FC0714F8D2EB605D&iid=38B194292C032A66&sid=9F6DA927E843CD50&eid=AA27B676BFCAA4BE&journal_id=1005-0302&journal_name=材料科学技术学报&referenced_num=0&reference_num=0
