A Cu&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Mn-based alloy material () having a composition comprising: given contents of Al and Mn, and a given total content of at least one selected from Ni and the like; with the balance being Cu and unavoidable impurities, wherein the alloy material has a shape elongated in the working direction (RD), wherein a grain length ain the RD is R/2 or less to the width or diameter (R), a grain length bin a direction perpendicular to the RD is R/4 or less, and the amount of grains X () is 15% or less, and wherein a grain length a in the RD and a grain length b in the direction perpendicular to the RD satisfy: a&#x2265;b, and an angle formed by the normal line of the (111) plane and the RD is 15&#xb0; or larger, the amount of grains Y' () is 85% or more.

Cu-Al-Mn-based alloy material, method of producing the same, and rod material or sheet material using the same

A wrought material containing a Cu&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Mn-based alloy, in which an existence frequency of a coincidence grain boundary with a &#x3a3; value of 3 or less is 35% or more but 75% or less, and which has a recrystallized microstructure substantially formed from a &#x3b2; single phase; and the use thereof.

Wrought material comprising Cu&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Mn-based alloy excellent in stress corrosion resistance and use thereof

A Cu&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Mn-based alloy having superelastic characteristics and having a recrystallized texture substantially formed of a &#x3b2; single phase, in which 70% or more of crystal grains is within a range of 0&#xb0; to 50&#xb0; in a deviation angle from &#x3c;001&#x3e; orientation of a crystalline orientation measured in a working direction by electron back-scatter diffraction patterning.

Cu&#x2014;Al&#x2014;Mn-based alloy exhibiting stable superelasticity and method of producing the same
