Terminology

Martensite

Thermoelastic martensitic transfomations - interaction between structural state and magnetic subsystem

Heusler Alloy - Ni-Mn-Ga alloy system 1995

Twinning disconnections

Magnostriction - both the spontaneous ferromagnetic ordering and/or externally stimulated magnetization process in solids are always accompanied by volume and shape changes, large magnostriction 1996

What are MSMAs?


Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys or MSMAs are a newly researched memory shape alloys that can have from 10-20% strain when a magnetic field is applied. The visible strain is due to reorientation of the martensitic variants within the alloy's microstructure. The advantage of MSMAs over conventional SMAs is in their ability to be operated over a much broader frequency range rather than just through heat transfer.
