Tailoring Micro- and Nanostructures to Optimize the Functional Response of FeMnAlNi-Based Shape Memory Alloys

Abstract The present paper focuses on the evolution of micro- and nanostructures during a cyclic heat treatment in a Fe 41 Mn 34.2 Al 14.1 Ni 7.7 Cr 3 (at.-%) shape memory alloy (SMA). Crystallographic orientation and subgrain structures of the obtained single crystal after a cyc...
