4. Conclusions
- The evolution of atomic order is attributed to the atomic diffusion occurred in APB, revealed by L21 domains’ morphology. In situ XRD results indicate that the intensity of (111) reflection is related to the degree of order, which is in accordance with the SAD results.
- Due to the rapid quenching process, the as-spun ribbons possess B2 structures with small L21 domains dispersedly distributed in it. Quenching above prevents the formation of L21 domains and form the B2 structure with a lower degree of order. On the other hand, when annealing at temperatures below followed with quenching, large L21 domains are observed, and the size of the domains increases with the increase in temperature.
- The evolution of L21 domains’ morphology has a strong dependence on the cooling rates. Atomic order can be further modified during slow cooling process. Ribbons heating at temperatures higher than with furnace cooling or quenching in water demonstrate different microstructure as observed by TEM. Low cooling rates greatly promote the formation of L21 domains with higher degree of order.
- The martensitic transformation of Ni-Mn-In alloy depends on its degree of order. Different from other shape memory alloys, B2 structure is better for the martensitic transformation. Therefore, the effect of heat treatment on atomic number discussed above provides a reference to the investigation of Ni-Mn-In alloys series.
