摘要
The precipitate pleases and martensitic transformation behavior of polycrystalline Ni50Mn29Ga21-xDyx (x = 0-5) ferromagnetic shape memory alloys are investigated. The results show that some Dy-rich precipitates are observed in higher Dy-addition alloys. The precipitates can be indexed to Dy(Ni. Mn)(4)Ga phase with a hexagonal CaCu5 type structure. When the content of Dy increases from 0.5 at.% to 2 at.%, Dy(Ni. Mn)(4)Ga phase distributes mainly along the grain boundaries, while a eutectic structure composed of the matrix and Dy(Ni. Mn)4Ga phase is observed with the further increase of Dy content. In addition, structural transition from 5M to 7M, and then to non-modulated T martensite appears with the increase of Dy content. It is found that substitution of Dy for Ga up to 5 at.%, one-step thermoelastic martensitic transformation can still be observed in this quaternary alloy. The Dy doping markedly increases the martensitic transformation temperature from 326 K to 512 K. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
