Abstract

The Ni44.1Mn44.2Sn11.7 ribbons were prepared by melt spinning. A single-phase austenite with L21 structure was confirmed in the melt-spun ribbons at room temperature. After the heat treatment, the martensitic transformation temperature increases obviously in the annealed ribbons. This method may be an effective way to tune the characteristic temperatures in the ferromagnetic shape memory alloys. Giant magnetic entropy changes are observed in the annealed ribbons. The peak values at 10kOe are 32.1 and 20.1J∕kgK, for the ribbons annealed at 1123 and 1173K, respectively.
