In the present work 3 different processing routes were used in copper based shape memory alloys. The texture development in these alloys varies according with the selected route; the mechanical response is related with it. The pseudoelasticity and the recoverable strains were analyzed. Accordingly with the results a favorable way of processing can be selected.
