$Llo{\rightarrow}Ni_5Al_3$ reordering and related properties in Ni-Al alloys consisting of 64-65at%Ni are characterized by X-ray diffraction, shape memory effect and damping capacity. Formation of $Ni_5Al_3$ takes place by simple ordering of atoms with a continuous increase in c/a ratio. As a result, degradation of shape memory effect and damping capacity is observed after short time annealing at $200-300^{\circ}C$.
