Abstract

The martensitic transformation (MT) and magnetic properties have been investigated in a series of Ni50−x Fe x Mn32Al18 ferromagnetic shape memory alloys. The substitution of Fe for Ni reduces the MT temperature of Ni–Fe–Mn–Al alloys effectively, and the magnetization of the austenite was significantly enhanced in these high-doped alloys. The Fe introduction converts antiferromagnetic austenite to ferrimagnetic state, and therefore, the unique MT occurs between ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic state in these alloys. The MT temperatures decreased by about 15 K under the magnetic field of 30 kOe for x = 8 alloy. The positive value of magnetic entropy change was determined to 3.35 J/kg K around the MT in the field change of 30 kOe for x = 6 alloy. These results suggest that Ni50−x Fe x Mn32Al18 alloys would be the promising candidates for magnetic multifunctional materials.
