Abstract
Co38Ni35Al27 and Co35Zn10Ni32Al23 ferromagnetic shape memory alloys were prepared via facile powder metallurgy and vacuum sintering technique. The influence of sintering temperature on phase transformation behaviour, microstructure and magnetic properties were investigated. The rise in peak intensity of A2-phase shows that the alloy is rich in martensitic-phase in the polycrystalline cubic B2-phase structure and Zn incorporation leads to the reduction in austenite-phase. The needle-shaped cobalt precipitates on predominant martensite A2-phase, shows Widmanstatten-like structure in the samples sintered at 673 K. The saturation magnetization was found to be 87.92 and 96.2 emu/g for Co38Ni35Al27 and Co35Zn10Ni32Al23 alloy. The existence of non-interacting single-domain particles were observed and proved using Stoner-Wohlfarth model.
