✦ Synopsis
Three polycrystalline Ni 53.5+x -Fe 19.5-x -Ga 27.0 alloys, with x = 0, 0.5, 1.5 (at.%), have been aged at 520 and 670 K. The initial increase of martensitic transformation temperatures upon ageing has been attributed to a decrease of L2 1 order. The alloys with lower Fe content show remarkable thermal stability for ageing times larger than 10 7 s at 520 K. In the case of ageing at 670 K, degradation of the alloys occurs after ∼10 6 s. Optical and transmission electron microscopy reveal the initial presence of ␥ particles mostly located at the grain boundaries, as well as the appearance of small (<1 m) elongated precipitates after long ageing periods at 670 K, associated to a drop of transformation temperatures.

Three polycrystalline alloys with compositions Ni 53+x Fe 20-x Ga 27 (x = 0.5, 1, 2 at %) have been studied, paying particular attention to the lowtemperature behaviour, between the martensite finish and liquid nitrogen temperature. In this respect, the dynamic mechanical analysis has proven to be a
