This study investigates the crystal structure, martensitic transformation behavior, magnetic properties, and magnetic-field-induced reverse martensitic transformation of Co64V15(Si21–xAlx) alloys. It was found that by increasing the Al composition, the microstructure changes from the martensite phase to the parent phase. The crystal structures of the martensite and parent phases were determined as D022 and L21, respectively. Thermoanalysis and thermomagnetization measurements were used to determine the martensitic transformation and Curie temperatures. Both the ferromagnetic state of the parent phase and that of the martensite phase were observed. With the increasing Al contents, the martensitic transformation temperatures decrease, whereas the Curie temperatures of both the martensite and parent phases increase. The spontaneous magnetization and its composition dependence were also determined. The magnetic-field-induced reverse martensitic transformation of a Co64V15Si7Al14 alloy under pulsed high magnetic fields was observed. Moreover, using the results of the DSC measurements and the pulsed high magnetization measurements, the temperature dependence of the transformation entropy change of the Co-V-Si-Al alloys was estimated.

In this paper, we discuss the possibility of inducing a martensitic transition by means of an applied magnetic field or hydrostatic pressure in Ni-Mn based Heusler shape memory alloys. We report on the shift of the martensitic transition temperatures with applied magnetic field and applied pressure and we show that it is possible to induce the structural transformation in a Ni50Mn34In16 alloy by means of both external fields due to: (i) the low value of the entropy change and (ii) the large change of magnetization and volume, which occur at the martensitic transition.

The magnetization, electric resistivity, and magnetoresistance properties of Pd 2 Mn 1 . 4 Sn 0 . 6 Heusler alloys were investigated. The Curie temperature of the parent phase, martensitic transformation temperatures, and magnetic field dependence of the martensitic transformation temperatures were determined. The magnetoresistance was investigated from 10 to 290 K, revealing both intrinsic and extrinsic magnetoresistance properties for this alloy. A maximum of about − 3 . 5 % of intrinsic magnetoresistance under 90 kOe and of about − 30 % of extrinsic magnetoresistance under 180 kOe were obtained. Moreover, the thermal transformation arrest phenomenon was confirmed in the Pd 2 Mn 1 . 4 Sn 0 . 6 alloy, and an abnormal heating-induced martensitic transformation (HIMT) behavior was observed.

Ni2MnGa Heusler alloy is known as a potential smart material. At room temperature it has a L21 type structure, undergoing a martensitic transition (TM) at low temperatures. Some authors have classified Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys on the values of martensitic transformation and Curie temperatures: first group formed by alloys with TM below room temperature and TC, second group with TM around room temperature and third group with TM]TC. The partial substitution of Ni with Mn leads to an increase of the transition temperature and a decrease of the Curie temperature. The Ni2-xMn1+xGa alloys have a complex tetragonal structure at room temperature. The substitution of Ga with Al can change the crystalline and magnetic structure of Heusler alloys: Ni2MnAl is antiferromagnetic for a B2 (CsCl type, with Mn and Al randomly distributed in the center of the cube) structure and ferromagnetic for a L21 (BiF3 type with Mn and Al ordered distributed in the cube center) structure. We intend to put in evidence a dependence between the applied magnetic field on a side, and the transition temperature, on other side, for the Ni2-xAxMn1-yByGa1-zCz (A, B=Co; C=Al) Heusler alloys.

In some Ni-Mn-In- and Ni-Mn-Sn-based Heusler-type alloys, martensitic transformation from the ferromagnetic parent phase to the paramagnetic martensite phase appears and magnetic field-induced reverse transformation, namely, metamagnetic phase transition, is detected. In this paper, the metamagnetic shape memory effect due to the metamagnetic phase transition and the magnetostress effect in the Ni-Co-Mn-In alloys are introduced and the phase diagrams of Ni50Mn50-yXy (X: In, Sn, Sb) alloys are shown as basic information. Furthermore, the magnetic properties of both the parent and martensite phases in the Ni-Mn-In- and Ni-Mn-Sn-based metamagnetic shape memory alloys are also reviewed.

The present work analyses the influence of austenite ordering on a single crystal Ni-Mn- Ga alloy which displays, on cooling, a sequence of martensitic (MT) and intermartensitic (IMT) transformations. The MT and IMT show distinct behaviour after ageing in austenite: while the MT temperatures are not affected by the performed heat treatments, the IMT shifts toward lower temperatures after quenching from increasing temperatures, progressive recovery occurring upon ageing in parent phase. Such evolution can be related to changes in the L21 order degree, in the sense that ordering favours the occurrence of the intermartensitic transformation, while it does not affect noticeably the forward and reverse martensitic transformation temperatures. The closeness of the free energies of the different martensite structures allows to explain this behaviour.
