Popis: The methods of internal friction and electrical resistivity were applied to study the influence of the ageing process of the martensite in two polycrystalline CuZnAl alloys on the course and variations of the reversible martensitic transformation. From the analysis of curves of Q −1  f ( T ) and the use of the chemical reaction rate equation, the activation energy for the initial stage of the martensite stabilization process E =(0.73±0.01) eV was determined; it corresponds to the disappearance of vacancies (alloy I). Based on the analysis of isochronal and isothermal curves of electrical resistivity, two processes (A and B) were distinguished (alloy II). Process A, with activation energy E A M = (0.69±0.02) eV, corresponds to the disappearance of divacancies, whereas process B, with activation energy E B M = (0.84±0.02) eV, corresponds to the disappearance of monovacancies.
