N2 - The nucleation, growth, forward and reverse transformation processes of thermoelastic martensite (TM) in shape memory alloys have been investigated by in-situ SEM cooling and heating observations. The homogeneous-like nucleation from the grain interior was observed in Ti-Ni, Ti-Nb-Al, Ti-Ni-Pd alloys. On the other hand, the heterogeneous nucleation from the grain boundary was observed in Ni-Mn-Ga, Cu-Al-Mn, Cu-Al-Ni alloys. In addition, the microstructure memory effect (MME) of the M phase only occurs during thermal cycles in the Ti-Nb-Al alloy. It is suggested that there is intimate relation between the nucleation site and the distribution of elastic stress field due to the anisotropy of thermal expansion coefficient. It is assumed that the change of internal stress field in the parent (P) phase during transformation cycles prevents MME.
