NiCoMnSn shape memory alloy (SMA) is expected to be a promising high temperature SMA. However, the brittleness has become a big obstacle for its practical application. It is known that, grain refining is effective in improving the ductility of a specific metallic alloy. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of melt--spinning on grain refinement and martensitic transformation and provide a guideline for the development of NiCoMnSn SMA. Ni43Co7Mn41Sn9 high temperature SMA ribbon was prepared by a single-roll melt-spinning method. The microstructure and martensitic transformation were investigated by means of OM, SEM, TEM, XRD and DSC, respectively. The experimental results showed that, the ribbon had a chemical composition close to the master alloy and exhibited a thermoelastic martensitic transformation at about 160℃. The grains in the as-spun ribbon, ranging from 2 μm to 18 μm,were remarkably refined compared with the master alloy. In the as--prepared ribbon,most of the columnar grains grew along the direction vertical to the ribbon plane.At room temperature, non-modulated martensite (tetragonal structure) consisting of twin substructure is determined in the ribbon after relieving the internal stress. Transformation temperatures were lowered by 30℃ after heat treatment at 400℃ for 1 h and then kept nearly constant with the increase of heat treatment temperatures.
