Porous Ni-Mn-Ga shape memory alloys (SMAs) were prepared by powder metallurgy using NaCl as a pore-forming agent with an average pore size of 20–30 μm. The microstructure, phase transformation, superelasticity, and elastocaloric properties of the porous alloys were investigated. The prepared porous alloy had a uniform pore distribution and interconnected microchannels were formed. Cu doping can effectively improve the toughness of a porous alloy, thus improving the superelasticity. It was found that porous Ni-Mn-Ga-Cu SMAs have a flat stress plateau, which exhibits a maximum elongation of 5% with partially recoverable strain and a critical stress for martensite transformation as low as about 160 MPa. In addition, an adiabatic temperature change of 0.6 K was obtained for the prepared porous alloy at a strain of 1.2% at about 150 MPa. This work confirms that the introduction of porous structures into polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga SMAs is an effective way to reduce costs and improve performance, and provides opportunities for engineering applications. |
