Shape memory alloys recover their original shape after deformation, making them useful for
a variety of specialized applications. Superelastic behavior begins at the critical stress …

The demand for biomaterials has been increasing along with the increase in the population
of elderly people worldwide. The mechanical properties and high wear resistance of metallic …

As excellent lightweight engineering materials, Mg-Sc alloys also exhibit shape memory
effects. With less than 25 atomic percent Sc in Mg, the martensitic transformation was found …

Vapor compression technologies widely used for refrigeration, heating, and air-conditioning
have consumed a large fraction of global energy. Efforts have been made to improve the …

Ferrous shape memory alloys showing superelasticity have recently been obtained in two
alloy systems in the 2010s. One is Fe–Mn–Al–Ni, which undergoes martensitic …

Nowadays, searching for the materials with multiple magneto-functional properties and good
mechanical properties is vital in various fields, such as solid-state refrigeration, magnetic …

We report the martensitic transformation behavior in Co-V-Ga Heusler alloys.
Thermoanalysis and thermomagnetization measurements were conducted to observe the …

Martensitic transformation in off-stoichiometric Co 2 VSi Heusler alloy was firstly confirmed in
this work. The martensite phase presents an ordered 2M non-modulate D0 22 structure …

In this work, we have developed a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Co 50 V 34 Ga 16 with
a metamagnetic martensitic transformation (MT) from the high-magnetization austenitic …

This paper reported the superelasticity and excellent cycle stability of boron-microalloyed Co–
V–Al–Fe shape memory alloy. The microstructures, martensitic transformation …
