The influence of Ta additions on the microstructure and properties of Cu-Al-Ni shapememory alloys was investigated in this paper. The addition of Ta significantly affects the green and porosity densities; the minimum percentage of porosity was observed with the modified prealloyed Cu-Al-Ni-2.0wt.% T...
