Effect of B addition on the superelasticity in FeNiCoAlTa single crystals
The study focuses on the superelastic effect in single-crystalline boron-doped Fe-based shape memory alloys. The homogenized and quenched single crystals were subjected to a heat treatment at 973 K for variable aging times. As a result, small and coherent nanometer-sized γ′ (Ni3Al-type) precipitates...

The study focuses on the superelastic effect in single-crystalline boron-doped Fe-based shape memory alloys. The homogenized and quenched single crystals were subjected to a heat treatment at 973 K for variable aging times. As a result, small and coherent nanometer-sized γ′ (Ni3Al-type) precipitates were formed. It was established that Fe-28Ni-17Co-11.5Al-2.5Ta-0.05B single crystals oriented along [001] direction exhibit the fully reversible superelastic behavior up to 14.3% compression strain at 77 K reaching the maximum theoretical value. The boron addition suppressed completely the formation of the brittle β phase and reduced the average precipitate size of the γ′ precipitates. Using high-energy synchrotron radiation and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis the volume fraction and precipitate size of γ′ were determined indicating that both factors are critical in obtaining the largest superelastic reversibility. Boron addition counters the initial effect of mechanical stabilization which was detected in single crystals without boron.
