It is generally accepted that the martensitic transformations (MTs) in the shape memory
alloys (SMAs) are mainly characterized by the shear deformation of the crystal lattice that …

Heusler-type magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) exhibit a martensitic transformation
(MT) accompanied by a complex magnetic reordering, strongly affected by an intricate …

In the present work, towards further development of NiMn-based Heusler-type elastocaloric
alloys a series of melt-spun ribbons have been prepared from three multicomponent Ni-Mn …

A multistep superelastic behavior, with up to a 12% strain, is reported in a< 001> P-oriented
Ni 49 Mn 28 Ga 23 single crystal. The observed behavior is produced by intermartensitic …

Abstract Ni 50 Mn 35 In 15 compound has become an archetype for investigating the
functional properties of metamagnetic shape memory alloys. We have fabricated Ni 50 Mn …

Recoverable strains have been measured in a single-crystalline Ni–Fe (Co)–Ga shape
memory alloy in the course of tensile tests performed at different temperatures. Two …

The B2–B19′ transformation in Ti–51.2 Ni (at.%) alloy exhibits a clear time dependence.
The transformation starts after an incubation time when the specimen is held above Ms, and …

The present study investigated the influences of Dy-addition on the microstructural
characterization, functional behaviour and deformation mechanisms in high-temperature …
