As several other binary alloy compounds, stoichiometric CuZr has a B2 phase with a CsCl type bcc based structure. In the present system this phase appears as a line compound between 715 C and 935 C. Rapid cooling to below 140 C transforms this phase into at least two monoclinic structures which have been shown to have martensitic characteristics, not unusual for B2 phase alloys, including shape memory behavior. Unit cell dimensions for both monoclinic phases, one about twice the size of the other, were previously suggested on the basis of powder X-ray diffractometry and limited electron microscopy results. The aim of the current investigation was to confirm or correct these unit cells by extensive selected area electron diffraction (SAED), high resolution electron microscopy (HREM) and improved fitting procedures of the existing X-ray diffraction data. The crystallographic relation between parent and product phases will also be discussed.
