## Abstract The offโstoichiometric Ni~2~MnGa Heusler alloy is a magnetic shapeโmemory alloy capable of reversible magneticโfieldโinduced strains (MFIS). These are generated by twin boundaries moving under the influence of an internal stress produced by a magnetic field through the magnetocrystallin

## Abstract The present paper briefly reviews the role of surfaces in fatigue of shape memory alloys (SMAs). When polished and defect free austenitic surfaces are cooled to lower temperatures, the martensitic transformation creates a pattern of surface upheavals; and an inverse pattern forms when p
Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloys with 10-14.5 wt.% of Al and 0-10 wt.% of Mn, were chosen for the present study. The transformation temperatures, shape memory effect and superelasticity of these alloys are highly sensitive to variations in composition. The influence of composition on these properties ha
