The phase stability, decomposition and its influence on the martensitic transformation and
magnetic properties of magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) Mn 50 Ni 40 In 10 melt-spun …

Abstract Ni-Mn-Ga based alloys are widely studied due to their potential for practical
applications, making use of their martensitic transformations. However, hysteresis is a long …

Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) are a new and rapidly developing class of smart
materials. These alloys demonstrate significant strain (from 6% to 12%) under an external …

Typically, the first step in alloy selection and material production is to use handbooks,
databases, or other materials guides to down-select to a specific composition and …

The 4D printing technique is employed to develop dynamic parts, such as actuators, smart
material-based soft robotic devices, etc., which reorient their shape on exposure to external …
