Abstract
In present contribution we discuss the structural properties of the austenite and martensite phases that form in as-spun ribbons of some selected compositions of the ternary system Ni50Mn50-x(In,Sn)x, their characteristic crystallographic texture and the effect of vacuum annealing. X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that in all the cases austenite crystallized in an ordered cubic L21-type structure. For thermally annealed samples diffraction lines becomes narrower in comparison with those of as-quenched samples, cell parameters tend reduce and crystallographic texture is preserved and improved. Furthermore, the structure and the martensitic temperature transformation can significantly differ from that of bulk alloys. Thus, materials with different structure, magnetoelastic behavior and transformation temperatures can be produced by melt spinning controlling starting composition and quenching conditions. In textured ribbons, the columnar, almost 1-dimensional, shape of the grains makes structural changes more difficult than in bulk materials (3-dimensional shape), thus explaining the differences observed in their structure and temperature magnitudes involved.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
