Abstract The behaviour of Cu-Zn-Al single crystals with martensitic structure has been studied in relation to compression tests carried out at room temperature. Each sample was loaded at constant stress for different cycles and different stress values were used. Martensite stabilization was observed both in successive cycles and by increasing stress. This stabilization brought about a loss of shape memory recovery effect, on the one hand, and a training effect under stress, on the other, allowing the material total recovery in comparison with the previous cycle due to a two-way memory effect. This two-way memory effect appears at certain stress levels and/or determined cycles.
