- Improvement of functional and structural fatigue endurance for applications of ferroelastic materials requires an optimization of their composition. A strategy for finding alloy compositions that minimize the transformation hysteresis is necessary. We propose an experimental high throughput methodology to explore the model \b{eta}-Cu-Zn-Al system. It is based on an original route to process bulk gradient composition single crystals to investigate fine variation of composition range coupled with local measurements of the austenite-martensite microstructure by light microscopy during the transformation. The latter method is compared with differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The methodology is applied in an Al-richer range of composition of standard CuZnAl SMA where a minimum of transformation hysteresis is observed.
