Effect of partial substitution of Fe by Mn in Ni55Fe19Ga26 on its microstructure and magnetic properties. Sarkar, S. K., Biswas, A., Babu, P. D., Kaushik, S. D., Srivastava, A., Siruguri, V., & Krishnan, M. Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 586:515–523, February, 2014. WOS:000329856800082

Ni-Fe-Ga-based Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys (FSMAs) show considerable formability because of the presence of a disordered FCC gamma-phase, but they lack in magnetocaloric property. Addition of Mn has been explored as a way to improve their magnetocaloric property. The current study presents a detailed structural and magnetization analyses of a two-phase ternary Ni55Fe19Ga26 alloy and its quaternary counterparts obtained by partial replacement of Fe by Mn, Ni55Fe19-xMnxGa26 (x = 2.5, 2.75, 3, 5, 10). Characterization of these alloys has been carried out using Optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy, Electron Probe Microanalysis, X-ray (XRD) and Neutron Diffraction (ND), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and DC magnetization measurement. Ni55Fe19Ga26 alloy shows predominantly non-modulated (NM) internally-twinned martensite, with traces of a modulated 14M martensite and the parent L2(1) phase along with the FCC gamma-phase. Quaternary addition of Mn in partial replacement of Fe stabilizes14M martensite, drastically reduces the amount of gamma-phase, keeps the martensitic transition temperatures unchanged, but raises T-C considerably. Magnetocaloric effect improves significantly with increasing Mn-content and a maximum value of -19.8 J/kg K for Delta S-M has been observed at 9 T for the alloy containing 10 at.% Mn.
