“…Unfortunately, most Fe-based SMAs exhibit poor superelastic recovery or small superelastic strains, due to non-thermoelastic martensitic transformation [1][2][3][4][5][6][7], which also results in large temperature and stress hysteresis. Recently, a group of newly discovered Fe-based SMAs: Fe 41.95 Ni 28 Co 17 Al 10.5 X 2.5 B 0.05 (X: Ta, Nb and Ti) polycrystalline alloy [8][9][10], Fe 40.5 Ni 28 Co 17 Al 11.5 X 2.5 (X: Ta, Nb and Ti) single crystals [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], Fe 43.5 Mn 34 Al 15 Ni 7.5 polycrystalline alloy [24] and single crystals [25], have shown large superelastic strain at room temperature. One of the most interesting findings for the Fe 43.5 Mn 34 Al 15 Ni 7.5 SMA was the small tensile stress-temperature slope of about 0.53 MPa/°C in polycrystalline samples and 0.54 MPa/°C in single crystals, with the [1 0 0] orientation, over a large temperature window [24,25].…”
