Description

The effects of the substitution of gallium with boron on the physical, mechanical and magnetic shape memory properties of Ni51Mn28.5Ga20.5-xBx (at.%) (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) polycrystalline alloys are investigated. It has been found that transformation temperatures are decreasing while hardness is increasing with boron addition. B-doping of NiMnGa alloys results in the formation of a second phase that increases its ductility and strength in compression. Moreover, saturation magnetization of austenite is decreasing, while Curie temperature of austenite is increasing with B-doping.
