ABSTRACTEffects of high magnetic field and tensile stress on martensitic transformation behavior and microstructure at 4 K have been studied in Fe-31Ni-0.4C and Fe-27Ni-0.8C shape memory alloys. It was found that the critical magnetic field to induce martensitic transformation is between 7.5 T and 10 T. In the case of Fe-27Ni-0.8C, martensitic transformation is stress-induced at lower level of stress in magnetic field than in the case when no magnetic Field is applied. The amount of martensite formed by increasing the magnetic field under constant stress is larger than that formed by increasing the stress in the constant magnetic field.

The microstructure and martensitic transformation behavior of Ni50−xTi50Lax (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7) shape memory alloys were investigated experimentally. Results show that the microstructure of Ni50−xTi50Lax alloys consists of a near-equiatomic TiNi matrix, LaNi precipitates, and Ti2Ni precipitates. With increasing La content, the amounts of LaNi and Ti2Ni precipitates demonstrate an increasing tendency. The martensitic transformation start temperature increases gradually with increasing La content. The Ni content is mainly responsible for the change in martensite transformation behavior in Ni50−xTi50Lax alloys.

We study the effect of surface modifications and constraints on the mechanical properties of Ni-Mn- Ga single crystals, which are imposed by (i) structural modifications near the surface, (ii) mounting to a solid surface, and (iii) guiding the stroke. Spark eroded samples were electropolished and characterized before and after each polishing treatment. Surface damage was then produced with spark erosion and abrasive wearing. Surface damage stabilizes and pins a dense twin-microstructure and prevents twins from coarsening. The density of twins increases with increasing degree of surface deformation. Twinning stress and hardening rate during mechanical loading increase with increasing surface damage and twin density. In contrast, when a damaged surface layer is removed, twinning stresses, hardening rate, and twin density decrease. Constraining the sample by mounting and guiding reduces the magnetic-field-induced strain by locking twins at the constrained surfaces. . For single-domain crystals and for hard magnetic shape-memory alloys, external constraints strongly reduce the magnetic-field-induced strain and the fatigue lifetime is short. In contrast, for selfaccommodated martensite and for soft magnetic shape-memory alloys, the twin-microstructure adapts well to external constraints and the fatigue lifetime is long. The performance of devices with MSMA transducers requires managing stress distributions through design and control of surface properties, microstructure, and constraints.
