Summary A comparison is described of the structures of an M9R Cu–Zn–Al alloy as quenched directly into the martensitic state, and as stabilized, with the structure of the material after up‐quenching into the β 1 state after which treatment the martensitic memory transformation occurs thermoelastically. Preliminary results on the increased tendency for the stabilized alloy to form f.c.c. stacking sequence regions are given and discussed.
