Abstract
This paper presents a simple method to examine whether a ferromagnetic shape memory alloy can be used as an actuator by controlling the transformation temperature by magnetic field. Both Fe–Pd and NiAlCo alloys are studied. The analysis results show the recently discovered alloy of NiAlCo cannot be used. Although an Fe–Pd alloy can be used, in principle, for magnetic field actuation, the work extracted by magnetic actuation is small.
