✦ Synopsis

The Ni-Mn-Ga shape memory ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are prone to fracture during thermal cycling. The present research shows that the primary reason for the thermally induced fracture of Ni-Mn-Ga FSMAs is the increase in the crack tip stress-intensity factor (SIF) due to stress redistribution around the crack tip as a result of stress-induced martensitic (SIM) transformation. On lowering the temperature to M s , the crack tip SIF of Ni-Mn-Ga FSMA increases significantly, being very different from that of Ni-Ti and Cu-Al-Ni SMAs. The sensitive temperature dependence of crack tip SIF in Ni-Mn-Ga is responsible for its brittleness under thermal cycling. The temperature dependence of crack tip SIF is strongly related to the yield stress, the temperature dependence of the critical stress for SIM transformation and the transformation interval. Temperature rate also plays an important role in the fatigue behavior of Ni-Mn-Ga FSMAs under thermal cycling.
