摘要
Since the discovery of large magnetostriction in Ni2MnGa alloys ferromagnetic shape memory alloys based on the Heusler compounds have been attracting much attention. In the present investigation microstructures and phase transformations in Ni-Mn-Ga and Co-Nb-Sn alloys were studied. In the both alloys, phase transformation temperatures, crystal structures, twin boundary structures and magnetization exhibited a systematic dependence on valence electron concentration, e/a. It was revealed that it is impossible to extend a stable temperature range of the martensite phase and at the same time to increase the magnetization in ternary Ni-Mn-Ga alloys. Addition of Co up to 5 mol% was effective to increase the magnetization with keeping the martensitic transformation temperature constant. In Co-Nb-Sn alloys near the stoichiometric Heusler composition it was not possible to obtain a single phase state. The martensitic transformation temperature is much more insensitive to the composition than in Ni-Mn-Ga alloys.
