    Influence of microstructure in the martensitic transformation and in the physical and magnetic properties in metamagnetic shape memory alloys
    (2019) López García, Javier; Recarte Callado, Vicente; Rodríguez Velamazán, José Alberto; Ciencias; Zientziak
    In this work we have focused in the study of the influence of the microstructure in metamagnetic shape memory alloys (Ni-Mn-In and Ni-Mn-Sn systems) together with the effect of Co-doping, in order to gain insight into these effects and to control and improve the properties of these materials. Starting with the ternary Ni-Mn-Sn system, we have stablished the correlation between microstructural parameters and magnetostructural properties in these alloys. We have characterized the different microstructural states induced by thermo-mechanical treatments and correlated them with the properties of the alloys. The cobalt-doped quaternary system, Ni-Co-Mn-Sn-Co has been the next subject of study. With the aim of obtaining further understanding of the effect of Cobalt doping the magnetic coupling, we have selected the Ni-Mn-In system as case study. Since in the systematic study of the effect of milling we have observed that long milling times lead to amorphous states, we have extended our study to the recrystallization processes in Ni-Co-Mn-Sn and Ni-Co-Mn-In alloys, with the analysis of the evolution of the different phases, the cell parameters and microstrutural parameters as grain size, micro and macrostrains.

    Room temperature huge magnetocaloric properties in low hysteresis ordered Cu-doped Ni-Mn-In-Co alloys
    (Elsevier, 2022) La Roca, Paulo Matías; López García, Javier; Sánchez-Alarcos Gómez, Vicente; Recarte Callado, Vicente; Rodríguez Velamazán, José Alberto; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ciencias; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua, PC017–018 AMELEC
    The reduction of the thermal hysteresis in first order magnetostructural transition is a determining factor to decrease energy losses and to improve the efficiency of magnetocaloric cooling based systems. In this work, a Cu doped NiMnInCo metamagnetic shape memory alloy (MMSMA) exhibiting a narrow thermal hysteresis (around 5 K) at room temperature has been designed. In this alloy, the induced L21 ordering process affects the phase stability in an unusual way compared to that observed in NiMnInCo and other NiMn based alloys. This ordering produces an increase in the Curie temperature of the austenite but hardly affects the mar tensitic transformation temperatures. As a consequence, the ordering increases the magnetization of the austenite without changing the transformation temperatures, doubles the sensitivity of the transformation to magnetic fields (the Claussius-Clapeyron slope goes from 2.1 to 3.9 K/T), improves the magnetocaloric effect, the reversibility and finally, enhances the refrigeration capacity. In addition, the magnetic hysteresis losses are among the lowest reported in the literature and the effective cooling capacity coefficient RCeff reaches 86 J/Kg for 2 T (15 % higher than those found in Ni-Mn based alloys) and 314 J/Kg for 6 T fields. Therefore, the ordered alloy possesses an excellent combination of low thermal hysteresis and high RCeff, not achieved previously in metamagnetic shape memory alloys near room temperature.
