Orientation dependent cyclic stability of the elastocaloric effect in textured Ni-Mn-Ga alloys

High-performance elastocaloric materials require a large reversible elastocaloric effect and long life cyclic stability. Here, we fabricated textured polycrystalline Ni50.4Mn27.3Ga22.3 alloys by cost-effective casting method to create a <001> texture. A strong correlation between the cyclic st...
