Phase equilibria and martensitic and magnetic transitions of the β (B2 and L21) phase in the Ni–Fe–Ga system were investigated. The b phase was found to be in equilibrium with the γ (A1 structure) or γ′ (L12 structure) phase. The Curie temperature, T c , equilibrium temperature, T o 5 (Ms + Af)/2, martensitic transition starting temperature, M s , and reverse transition finishing temperature, Af , of the β single–phase alloys were sensitive to the Fe and Ga compositions. The Fe substitution for Ni decreased and increased the T o and T c , respectively. The Ga substitution for Ni or Fe decreased both the T o and T c . The entropy change accompanying the reverse martensitic transition showed compositional dependence due to the magnetic contribution. The saturation magnetization I s of the Ni–Fe–Ga system showed a strong dependence on the magnetic valence Z M . The Is values of the Ni–Fe–Ga alloys annealed at 1023 K showed the same Z m dependence as other ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA) systems.
