Abstract:
The temperature interval $\Delta T_{SE}$ of superelasticity in $[001]$-, $[\bar123]$-, and $[\bar124]$-oriented Co$_{49}$Ni$_{21}$Ga$_{30}$ (at.%) single crystals strained at compression has been studied. It is established that $\Delta T_{SE}$ in the [001]-oriented single crystal amounts to 441 K and the reversible B2-L1$_0$ martensite transformations in loaded samples take place at $T_2$ = 698 K. In $[\bar{1}23]$- and $[\bar{1}24]$-oriented samples, $\Delta T_{SE}$ decreases to 233 K and the superelasticity is observed up to $T_2$ = 523 K.
