The effects of slight tantalum (Ta) addition on the microstructures, precipitates, martensitic transformation and shape memory performance of Fe-30Mn-6Si-based alloys were investigated. Experimental results show that the slight Ta addition will increase the c/a ratio of e martensite, reduce the M-s temperature and improve the alloy's shape recovery ability. After TMT at 650 degrees C, the alloy's M-s temperature is reduced and lots of (Fe, Mn)(3)Si and TAC precipitates form. The effective nuclei and well-aligned precipitates within the grain interior after TMT will improve significantly the alloy's shape memory performance. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
