Abstract

Ni-Mn-Sn-based Heusler alloys are important materials that have potential applications as environmentally friendly smart materials with beneficial properties as well as being magnetic. Both the magnetic field-induced reverse martensitic transformation and the high operating temperature are crucial for the applications of Ni-Mn-Sn-based magnetic shape memory alloys. In this study, martensite transformation temperatures were determined by applying different heat treatments (700 °C, 900 °C, 1100 °C) to Ni45Mn40Sn10Cu5 sample produced by Arc Melter melting method. While reverse conversion was observed in T2 (no heat treatment) and 700°C heat treatment, no reverse conversion was observed at 900°C and 1100°C. When the X-ray diffractogram was examined, martensite phase and γ phase were determined. When the magnetic hysteresis of the samples was examined, it was observed that the magnetic saturation went towards zero with the increase in heat treatment and accordingly, there was a decrease in the magnetization effect.
