A superelastic alloy formed from common elements operates over a wide temperature window.
To clarify the electronic, lattice, and magnetic contribution to inverse magnetocaloric effect (IMCE) in metamagnetic shape-memory alloy ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{45}{\mathrm{Co}}_{5}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{50\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{In}}_{x}$, magnetization, effect, specific-heat measurements were carried out a wide range of fields temperatures. The IMCEs ${\mathrm{Ni}}_{45}{\mathrm{Co}}_{5}{\mathrm{Mn}}_{36.7}{\mathrm{In}}_{13.3}$ directly measured as adiabatic temperature changes pulsed up 15 T. A maximum...
Temperature-stable superelasticity Shape memory alloys are superelastic, which means that they can recover their original shape after a large amount of strain. However, in most alloys, this behavior tends to only work well for small range temperatures. Xia et al. identified an iron-manganese-aluminum-chromium-nickel alloy is virtually temperature independent (see the Perspective by La Roca and Sade). This distinctive property attractive variety applications variations normal, such as space...

The concentration dependence of magnetic properties in the austenite phase NiCoMnIn and NiCoMnSn Heusler alloys was systematically investigated by magnetization measurements. TC for Ni(50-x)CoxMn(50-y)Sny linearly increases with increasing Co content fixed Sn content.

The demand for biomaterials has been increasing along with the increase in population of elderly people worldwide. mechanical properties and high wear resistance metallic make them well-suited use as substitutes or support damaged hard tissues. However, unless these also have a low Young's modulus similar to that human bones, bone atrophy inevitably occurs. Because is typically associated poor resistance, it difficult realize simultaneously. Also, superelastic property shape-memory alloys...
