Abstract

The influence of external field(magnetic field and stress field) on the transformation strain of Ni52.9Mn24.4Ga22.7 single crystal were investigated and the mechanism was also discussed. When thermally martensitic transformation occurs, about 0.25% transformation strain is obtained which may be obviously enhanced to about 0.8% by a 6000 Oe magnetic bias field. However, the strain decreases by the external compress stress loaded along the strain-measured direction. When the external compress stress and bias magnetic field are simultaneously applied, the transformation strain decreases with increasing the magnetic field, which is related to the rearrangement of the martensite variants influenced by the external field.
