A reversible martensitic transformation (MT) takes place during cooling and heating in the solution quenched and the solution quenched plus aged Ni59Al11Mn30 alloy The MT temperature increases with increasing solution temperature. The excellent MT characteristics can be obtained from a process of 1000℃ solution quenched plus 400℃aged. Follow this process, the MT start temperature (Ms) and the reverse MT finish temperature (Af) are 469℃ and 548℃,respectively. The martensitic stabilization effect in the solution quenched and aged Ni59Al11Mn30 alloy is observed as an increase in the Af temperature of the first reverse MT during thermal cycles. This stabilization effect vanishes from the second thermal cycle. Thermal cycling can enhance the stability of the reversible MT. The microstructure of the quenched Ni59Al11Mn30 alloy consists of martensite (M) and gamma phase. The volume fraction of gamma phase is about 40%. The substructure of M and gamma phase is twins and dislocations, respectively. The hardness of M is higher than that of gamma phase. After aging treatment the basic phases of alloy do not change, but the hardness of the phases increases.
