چکیده

Specific heat measurements were performed at low temperatures for Ni50Mn50−xInx alloys to determine their Debye temperatures (θD) and electronic specific heat coefficients (γ). For x ≤ 15, where the ground state is the martensite (M) phase, θD decreases linearly and γ increases slightly with increasing In content. For x ≥ 16.2, where the ground state is the ferromagnetic parent (P) phase, γ increases with decreasing In content. Extrapolations of the composition dependences of θD and γ in both the phases suggest that these values change discontinuously during the martensitic phase transformation. The value of θD in the M phase is larger than that in the P phase. The behavior is in accordance with the fact that the volume of the M phase is more compressive than that of the P phase. On the other hand, γ is slightly larger in the P phase, in good agreement with the reported density of states around the Fermi energy obtained by the first-principle calculations.

Entropy Change during Martensitic Transformation in Ni50-xCoxMn50-yAly Metamagnetic Shape Memory Alloys

Specific heat was systematically measured by the heat flow method in Ni50−xCoxMn50−yAly metamagnetic shape memory alloys near the martensitic transformation temperatures. Martensitic transformation and ferromagnetic–paramagnetic transition for the parent phase were directly observed via the specific heat measurements. On the basis of the experimental results, the entropy change was estimated an...

Determination of the vibrational contribution to the entropy change at the martensitic transformation in Ni-Mn-Sn metamagnetic shape memory alloys: a combined approach of time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations.

The different contributions to the entropy change linked to the austenite-martensitic transition in a Ni-Mn-Sn metamagnetic shape memory alloy have been determined by combining different experimental techniques. The vibrational contribution has been inferred from the vibrational density of states of both the martensitic and austenite phases. This has been accomplished by combining time-of-fligh...

Effect of the Primary Microstructures during Training Producers on TWSME in NiTi Alloys (TECHNICAL NOTE)

The influence of the martensitic, martensitic+austenitic and austenitic structures in bending training on two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) in Ni-50.8 at %Ti and Ni-49.9 at %Ti alloys was studied. In addition of the primary structure, the effect of pre-strain, plastic strain, training cycle and training temperature on the TWSME was investigated. The prepared samples were trained in martensiti...

Isothermal martensitic transformation in metamagnetic shape memory alloys

We show that in metamagnetic shape memory alloys exhibiting a magnetostructural first order phase transition the direct transition from ferromagnetic austenite to nonmagnetic martensite is isothermal. In contrast to the direct transformation, the reverse one nonmagnetic martensite–ferromagnetic austenite is athermal, just as are athermal both direct and reverse martensitic transformations in co...

TRANSFORMATION BEHAVIOR OF NiTi SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS TREATED BY THERMOMECHANICAL PROCESSING USING DSC

Abstract: In the present study the effect of thermomechanical treatment (cold work and annealing) on the transformation behavior of NiTi shape memory alloys was studied. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine transformation temperature and its relation to precipitates and defects. Three alloys including Ti-50.3at.% Ni, Ti-50.5at.% Ni (reclamated orthodontic wires) and 50.6at...
