Effect of Sb-doping on martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric effect in Mn-rich Mn_(50)Ni_(40)Sn_(10-x)Sb_x(x=1,2,3,and 4) alloys

We investigate the influence of Sb-doping on the martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric effect in Mn_(50)Ni_(40)Sn_(10-x)Sb_x(x = 1, 2, 3, and 4) alloys. All the prepared samples exhibit a B2-type structure with the space group F m3 m at room temperature. The substitution of Sb increases the valence electron concentration and decreases the unit cell volume. As a result, the magnetostructural transformation shifts rapidly towards higher temperatures as x increases.The changes in magnetic entropy under different magnetic field variations are explored around this transformation. The isothermal magnetization curves exhibit typical metamagnetic behavior, indicating that the magnetostructural transformation can be induced by a magnetic field. The tunable martensitic transformation and magnetic entropy changes suggest that Mn_(50)Ni_(40)Sn_(10-x)Sb_x alloys are attractive candidates for applications in solid-state refrigeration.     

铁磁形状记忆合金Co50Ni20Ga30-xSix的结构及物性研究

用Si元素替代CoNiGa合金中的Ga元素后,研究了材料的结构、马氏体相变及其磁性的变化.结果发现,当Si原子的含量在0—10％范围内,材料能够形成体心立方结构,并且具有很好的热弹性马氏体相变行为.进一步研究指出,简单的从掺杂元素的原子半径大小来判断其对奥氏体稳定性的影响是不够的,必须从考虑掺杂原子与基本元素原子半径之间的比例来考虑这一问题.同时还发现Curie温度和饱和磁化强度随着Si含量的上升而有所降低,但是其马氏体的各向异性随着Si含量的增加而增强,这一点对于在合金中获得大磁感生应变具有指导意义. 关键词： 铁磁形状记忆合金 马氏体相变 CoNiGaSi合金     

Ni53.2Mn22.6Ga24.2单晶的两步热弹性马氏体相变及其应力应变特性

对具有两步完全热弹性的Ni_53.2Mn_22.6Ga_24.2单晶的物性采用多种测量手段进行了表征,特别研究了不同温度下的应力-应变特性.研究表明,热诱发的中间马氏体相变应变远大于马氏体相变应变.在较低的形变温度下,沿单晶母相［001］方向的压应力诱发的是两步马氏体相变,材料表现出赝弹性;在较高的形变温度下,只能观察到一步马氏体相变,材料展现出完全超弹性特性.此外,利用热力学理论分别计算了诱发马氏体相变和中间马氏体相变的临界应力与形变温度的关系,与实验测量得到的结果相符. 关键词： 马氏体相变 形状记忆效应 应变 超弹性     

Martensitic transformation and giant magnetic entropy change in Ni_(42.8)Mn_(40.3)Co_(5.7)Sn_(11.2) alloy

The crystal structure, phase transition, and magnetocaloric effect in Ni42.8Mn40.3Co5.7Sn11.2 alloy are investigated by structure analysis and magnetic measurements. A large magnetic entropy change of 45.6 J/kg.K is obtained at 215 K under a magnetic field of 30 kOe （1 Oe = 79.5775 A.m-1）. The effective refrigerant capacity of Ni42.8Mn40.3Co5.7Sn11.2 alloy reaches 72.1 J/kg under an applied field changing from 0 to 30 kOe. The external magnetic field shifts the martensitic transition temperature about 3-4 K/10 kOe towards low temperature, indicating that magnetic field can retard the phase transition to a certain extent. The origin of large magnetic entropy change is discussed in the paper.     

Critical point of martensitic transformation under stress in an Fe-31.2Pd (at.%) shape memory alloy

We have examined the transformation strain, Δε, in the [0 0 1] direction of an Fe-31.2Pd (at.%) shape memory alloy under compressive stress applied in the same direction. When the stress is absent, the alloy exhibits a cubic to tetragonal martensitic transformation at 230 K with |Δε| of 1.4%. As the stress increases, the transformation temperature increases linearly and |Δε| decreases linearly and vanishes at 40 MPa (280 K). This point is the critical point of this transformation at which the first-order nature disappears, and the critical exponent β is evaluated to be 0.47?±?0.04.     

Pressure effects on magnetic properties and martensitic transformation of Ni–Mn–Sn magnetic shape memory alloys

The mechanism for the effects of pressure on the magnetic properties and the martensitic transformation of Ni-Mn- Sn shape memory alloys is revealed by first-principles calculations. It is found that the total energy difference between paramagnetic and ferromagnetic austenite states plays an important role in the magnetic transition of Ni-Mn-Sn under pressure. The pressure increases the relative stability of the martensite with respect to the anstenite, leading to an increase of the martensitic transformation temperature. Moreover, the effects of pressure on the magnetic properties and the martensitic transformation are discussed based on the electronic structure.

Microstructural,phase transformation and magnetic properties of Ni-Mn-Ga alloy fabricated by spark plasma sintering

The microstructural,phase transformation and magnetic properties of Ni-Mn-Ga alloy fabricated using the spark plasma sintering method have been investigated. The results show that both the as-sintered and annealed sintered specimens exhibit typical martensitic transformation behaviours. The martensite of the sintered specimen after annealing exhibits a ferromagnetic nature. Moreover,study of the fracture surface indicates that the transgranular fracture contributes to the higher ductility of sintered Ni-Mn-Ga alloy. In addition,the transformation strain in sintered Ni-Mn-Ga alloy is studied for the first time.     

A phase field model for the formation and evolution of martensitic laminate microstructure at finite strains

The extraordinary properties of shape-memory alloys stem from the formation and evolution of their complex microstructure. At lower temperatures, this microstructure typically consists of martensitic laminates with coherent twin boundaries. We suggest a variational-based phase field model at finite strains for the formation and dissipative evolution of such two-variant martensitic twinned laminate microstructures. The starting point is a geometric discussion of the link between sharp interface topologies and their regularisation, which is connected to the notion of Γ-convergence. To model the energy storage in the two-phase laminates, we propose an interface energy that is coherence-dependent and a bulk energy that vanishes in the interface region, thus allowing for a clear separation of the two contributions. The dissipation related to phase transformation is modelled by use of a dissipation potential that leads to a Ginzburg–Landau type evolution equation for the phase field. We construct distinct rate-type continuous and finite-step-sized incremental variational principles for the proposed dissipative material and demonstrate its modelling capabilities by means of finite element simulations of laminate formation and evolution in martensitic CuAlNi.

难混溶合金在凝固过程中极易发生液-液相分离,造成第二相的宏观偏析,失去了合金的应用价值.本文将第三组元Ti添加到Al-Bi难混溶合金中,研究了Ti的添加对合金的凝固组织和性能的影响,探索了原位生成的金属间化合物的存在形式,分析了第二相Bi颗粒的分布.研究结果表明,凝固过程中原位生成的长针状Al_3Ti化合物,均匀分布在Al基体中,穿插在Bi相颗粒之间,阻碍了Bi相颗粒的沉降及凝并,防止了Bi相颗粒的碰撞及长大,制备了Bi相弥散分布在Al基体中的难混溶合金;同时弥散分布在基体中的硬质相Al_3Ti还增强了基体的强度,提高了合金的硬度,使合金表现出优异的耐磨性能.     

Effects of pre-deformation on the martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric property in Ni-Mn-Co-Sn ribbons

This paper investigates the martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric effect in pre-deformed Ni-Mn-Co-Sn ribbons.The experimental results show that the reverse martensitic transformation temperature T M increases with the increasing pre-pressure,suggesting that pre-deformation is another effective way to adjust T M in ferromagnetic shape memory alloys.Large magnetic entropy changes and refrigerant capacities are obtained in these ribbons as well.It also discusses the origin of the enhanced martensitic transformation temperature and magnetocaloric property in pre-deformed Ni-Mn-Co-Sn ribbons.     

内应力对Mn2NiGa铁磁形状记忆合金的结构、相变和磁性能的影响

通过施加压应力的方法,在铁磁形状记忆合金Mn₂NiGa中引入残留内应力,研究了内应力对 Mn₂NiGa材料的结构、相变和磁性能的影响.研究发现,加压过程使材料发生了塑性形变,在材料内部引入了大量的位错缺陷.卸载后保留的位错缺陷在材料中造成了残留的内应力,导致了马氏体相变温度大幅度提高, 使原本室温下的母相转变成了马氏体相.测量到导致样品转变成马氏体的阈值压应力为1.0 GPa.加压形成的马氏体中的残留内应力将矫顽力从低于50 Oe提高到350 Oe.残留内应力在730 K的热处理中由于位错缺陷的消失而得以消除,样品实现了马氏体逆相变.如此高的逆相变温度使得 Mn₂NiGa马氏体的居里温度测量成为可能,获得了530K的数值.

利用内耗手段研究了淬火空位的演变行为及其对Cu-11.9Al-2.5Mn(wt%)形状记忆合金逆马氏体相变温度的影响.通过对不同冷却方式的样品研究表明,较高的冷却速度可以导致较高的逆马氏体相变峰峰温.而对于水淬样品,相变峰峰温随淬火温度呈非单调变化行为,这可能与有序相及无序相中不同的空位形成能有关.经历热循环以后,逆马氏体相变峰峰温显著降低. 关键词： 形状记忆合金 热处理 马氏体相变 阻尼     

Tailored martensitic transformation and enhanced magnetocaloric effect in all-d-metal Ni35Co15Mn33Fe2Ti15 alloy ribbons

The crystal structure, martensitic transformation and magnetocaloric effect have been studied in all-$d$-metal Ni$_{35}$Co$_{15}$Mn$_{33}$Fe$_{2}$Ti$_{15}$ alloy ribbons with different wheel speeds (15 m/s (S15), 30 m/s (S30), and 45 m/s (S45)). All three ribbons crystalize in B2-ordered structure at room temperature with crystal constants of 5.893(2) Å, 5.898(4) Å, and 5.898(6) Å, respectively. With the increase of wheel speed, the martensitic transformation temperature decreases from 230 K to 210 K, the Curie temperature increases slightly from 371 K to 378 K. At the same time, magnetic entropy change ($\Delta S_{\rm m}$) is also enhanced, as well as refrigeration capacity ($RC$). The maximum $\Delta S_{\rm m}$ of 15.6(39.7) J/kg$\cdot$K and $RC$ of 85.5 (212.7) J/kg under $\Delta H = 20$ (50) kOe (1 ${\rm Oe}=79.5775$ A$\cdot$m$^{-1}$) appear in S45. The results indicate that the ribbons could be the candidate for solid-state magnetic refrigeration materials.

Effect of Ni substitution on the formability and magnetic properties of Gd_(50)Co_(50) amorphous alloy

A small amount of Ni was added into the binary Gd_(50)Co_(50) amorphous alloy to replace Gd in order to obtain ternary Co_(50)Gd_(50-x)Ni_x(x = 1, 2, and 3) amorphous alloys. Compared to the binary Gd_(50)Co_(50) amorphous alloy, the Co_(50)Gd_(50-x)Ni_x amorphous alloys show an enhanced Curie temperature(T_C) with a weakened formability. The maximum magnetic entropy change(-?S_m~(peak)) of the Co_(50)Gd_(50-x)Ni_x amorphous alloys is found to decrease with the increasing T_C.The adiabatic temperature rise(?T_(ad)) of the Co_(50)Gd_(47)Ni_3 amorphous alloy is superior to that of the Fe-based metallic glasses at room temperature. The variation of the T_C and -?S_~(peak) of the Gd_(50)Co_(50) amorphous alloy with Ni addition, and the mechanism involved, were discussed.     

Mössbauer study of the martensitic transformation in a Ni–Fe–Ga shape memory alloy

We present the results of an extensive Mössbauer study of the magnetic and martensitic transformation at room temperature of a polycrystalline alloy with a Ni₅₅Fe₁₉Ga₂₆ nominal composition. From calorimetric measurements, we have determined the martensitic transformation temperature of T _M ≈ 240 K, in good agreement with the one obtained by magnetic characterization. This sample has a Curie temperature of T _C ≈ 287 K. Additional Curie temperatures, belonging to a γ phase, have been also detected. Mössbauer spectroscopy performed at different temperatures monitored all these transformations and the fitting of the obtained spectrum at the highest temperature allow us to give percentages of the different phases in the sample.
