Abstract The crystals of Ni2MnGa were prepared by high temperature gradient
zone-melting unidirectional solidification. Through altering the
growth velocity, the temperature gradient and the
zone-melting length, a flat solid-liquid
interface can be obtained, and a single
crystal was successfully prepared.
The crystal growth competition was
observed in Ni50Mn29Ga21
alloy. No obvious composition macro-segregation
was detected. In X-ray diffraction pattern only 400 and 004
peaks of the tetragonal martensitic structure appear,
showing the preferred orientation along
<100> of the high-temperature
cubic austenite Ni2MnGa. DSC and TG methods were
applied to describe the distributions of the martensitic
transition temperature and Curie temperature along
the solidified axis of the Ni50Mn29Ga21, no obvious
change for Curie temperature and about 10℃
increase for the martensitic transition
temperature were observed, further indicating the
homogeneity of the composition along the growth axis.
