Popis: In this work, superelastic behavior of single crystals shape memory alloys has been investigated by the electric resistivity (ER) measure technique coupled simultaneously during traction tests. Samples in austenitic phase were submitted to stress induced martensite (SIM) under several conditions such as: different temperatures, different deformation rate, throughout successive martensitic transformations and different crystallographic orientation axes. ER vs. deformation curves presented a linear relation without hysteresis and independence on temperature. In the case on the increasing of deformation rate, these curves show a little hysteresis due to adiabatic transformations. For samples submitted to successive transformations, ER curves showed changes with induced martensite types. In samples of the same alloy with different crystallographic orientations was observed that single variant martensite nucleation presented distinct values, this characterizes martensite electric resistivity anisotropy.
