- The distribution of residual stresses, in an iron electrolytic coating with the thickness of 1 mm, was discussed. It was found that the coating minimizes the influence of crystallographic texture and stress gradients. Scanning electron microscopy observations indicate that some cracks are produced in the direct current deposited layer. The results show that the grain size in the electrolytic coating observed by transmission electron microscopy is around 20 nm with an aspect ratio of 5:1

- A ferromagnetic shape memory alloy of Ni48Mn30Ga22 prepared by induction melting was successfully hot forged. Strong textures and a large anisotropy of in plane plastic flow were developed during the hot forging process. The crystal structures, both in austenitic and martensitic states, were investigated by means of neutron powder diffraction technique. The result suggests that Ni48Mn30Ga22 has a cubic L2(1) Heusler structure at room temperature, the same as that in the stoichiometric Ni2MnGa. When cooled to 243 K, the Ni48Mn30Ga22 alloy changes into a seven layered orthorhombic martensitic structure. No substantial change of the neutron diffraction pattern was observed upon further cooling to 19 K, indicating that there is no intermartensitic transformation in the investigated alloy, which is different from the transformation processes in the Ni-Mn-Ga alloys with higher martensitic transformation temperatures.

- Three ferromagnetic shape-memory alloys with the chemical compositions of Ni53Mn25Ga22, Ni48Mn30Ga22, and Ni48Mn25Ga22Co5 were prepared by the induction-melting and hot-forging process. The crystal structures were investigated by the neutron powder diffraction technique, showing that Ni53Mn25Ga22 and Ni48Mn25Ga22Co5 have a tetragonal, I4/mmm martensitic structure at room temperature, while Ni48Mn30Ga22 has a cubic, L2(1) austenitic structure at room temperature. The development of textures in the hot-forged samples shows the in-plane plastic flow anisotropy from the measured pole figures by means of the neutron diffraction technique. Significant texture changes were observed for the Ni48Mn25Ga22Co5 alloy after room temperature deformation, which is due to the deformation-induced rearrangements of martensitic variants. An excellent shape-memory effect (SME) with a recovery ratio of 74 pct was reported in this Ni48Mn25Ga22Co5 polycrystalline alloy after annealing above the martensitic transformation temperature, and the "shape-memory" influence also occurs in the distributions of grain orientations.

- Crystal structure and phase transformation behaviors in two Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) with compositions of Ni48Mn30Ga22 and Ni53Mn25Ga22 (at. %) as a function of temperature were investigated by in situ neutron diffraction experiments. Neutron diffraction technique proves to be highly efficient in characterizing structural transformation in Ni-Mn-Ga FSMAs, which consist of nearby elements in the periodic table. Our neutron results show that Ni48Mn30Ga22 has a cubic, L-21 Heusler structure from 373 to 293 K. Its crystal structure changes into a seven-layered orthorhombic martensitic structure when cooled to 243 K, and no further transformation is observed upon cooling to 19 K. Neutron diffraction results also show that Ni53Mn25Ga22 has a tetragonal 14/mmm martensitic structure from 20 to 403 K. A pre-transformation around room temperature is observed from an abrupt jump in unit-cell volume of Ni53Mn25Ga22, which corresponds with an endothermic peak detected in a heated DSC curve.

- In situ time-of-flight neutron diffraction and high-energy x-ray diffraction techniques were used to reveal the preferred reselection of martensite variants through a detwinning process in polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys under uniaxial compressive stress. The variant reorientation via detwinning during loading can be explained by considering the influence of external stress on the grain/variant orientation-dependent distortion energy. These direct observations of detwinning provide a good understanding of the deformation mechanisms in shape memory alloys.

- The crystal structures, magnetic structures, and phase transformation of the off-stoichiometric Ni53 Mn25 Ga22 were studied by neutron powder diffraction at different temperatures. It is shown that Ni53 Mn25 Ga22 has a tetragonal I4/mmm structure from 20 K to 403 K. An abrupt jump in unit-cell volume around room temperature, corresponding to an endothermic peak in the differential scanning calorimetry curve, was observed. This indicates a pretransformation in the martensitic phase of Ni53 Mn25 Ga22, which is completely different from the phase transformation in the stoichiometric Ni2 MnGa. The sequence of structural transformation in Ni53 Mn25 Ga22 is closely related to its intrinsic temperature-dependent magnetic structure. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.

- Quantitative interpretations of the so-called non-linear lattice strain distributions observed in coatings and thin films are important not only for determining the macro- and micro-stress fields, but also for inferring the active mechanisms of grain interactions during various deposition processes. In this paper, we present a method, which determines simultaneously both the macro- and micro-stress fields in the coatings and thin films. This method is extended from the previous stress-orientation distribution function (SODF) analysis method, which has already been used for residual stress analysis in bulk materials subjected to rolling and fatigue deformation. The validity of analysis method is demonstrated through measurements of lattice strains by high-energy x-ray and analysis of grain-orientation-dependent stresses in a CrN coating

- A ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy Ni48Mn25 Ga22CO5 was prepared by the induction melting and isothermal forging process. Dynamic recrystallization occurs during the isothermal forging. The deformation texture was studied by the neutron diffraction technique. The main texture components consist of (110) [11¯2] and (001) [100], which suggested that in-plane plastic flow anisotropy should be expected in the as-forged condition. The uniaxial compression fracture strain in the forged alloy reaches over 9.5%. The final room-temperature fracture of the polycrystalline Ni48Mn25Ga22CO5 is controlled mainly by intergranular mode.

- The reverse Monte Carlo method was used to obtain three-dimensional discrete distributions of constitutional atoms in melt-spun CuZr and CuZrTi metallic glasses from neutron and x-ray diffraction data. It was found that the icosahedral short-range order is less stable in the CuZr binary alloy than in the Ti-doped ternary alloy. The present investigation also provides evidence on the medium-range order, characterized by some nanoscale clusters of defects, in the metallic-glassy state.
