Abstract

Magnetic field has been known to be effective in solidification processes. Recently, however, it has been revealed that the magnetic field is also effective for controlling the arrangement of variants, which are formed in association with a solid-solid transformation, in some ferromagnetic intermetallic-based alloys with a large magnetocrystalline anisotropy. In this presentation, we will show two of such cases: one is the rearrangement of martensite variants by magnetic field in intermetallic-based ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (Ni2MnGa and Fe3Pt), and the other is formation of mono-variant state by ordering heat-treatment under magnetic field in a L10-type CoPt. The former process is diffusionless and proceeds by the movement of twinning plane under a magnetic field. The latter is a diffusion controlled process. For both the cases, a large magnetocrystalline anisotropy is essentially important for controlling the arrangement of variants, although kinetics of the two processes is quite different each other.
