Effect of Severe Plastic Deformation on the Structure and Magnetic Behaviour of an Fe-Mn-Si Shape Memory Alloy

This work focuses on the relation between severe plastic deformation process via HSHPT and magnetic properties of an Fe–Mn–Si-Cr shape memory alloy. High speed high pressure torsion (HSHPT) was applied on cast state of alloy. Microstructure evolution of severe plastic deformed iron based alloy subjected to different deformation degree were investigated. The microstructure and phase compositions of alloy were characterized using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The magnetic properties are discussed on the basis of the severe plastic deformation process and the underlying martensitic transformation. Thermomagnetic curves, between 150 K and 390 K and magnetic hysteresis loops at 300 K temperatures were measured. The thermo-resistivity measurements were done by standard four-probe. The magnetic properties are interpreted and correlated with microstructure.
