Abstract
Cyclic stability is vital for the application of the elastocaloric effect. We demonstrated here the enhanced cyclic stability in a Ni 50.4 Mn 27.3 Ga 22.3 alloy via hot extrusion. The fine equiaxed grains with 〈111〉 A texture were obtained after hot extrusion at 1323 K. The extruded alloy showed >250 stable elastocaloric cycles without degradation. The mechanism for the enhanced cyclic stability was the presence of fine grains and low energy dissipation related to the 〈111〉 A texture. So, hot extrusion may provide a feasible strategy for improving the eCE stability in polycrystalline ferromagnetic shape memory alloys.
