Abstract

We have fabricated CoNiFeGa single crystals with excellent superelasticity. The superelastic strains of 4% and 6.7% in compression have been obtained along the [001] and [110] directions, respectively. These single crystals show strong anisotropy in strains, superelastic parameters, and even transformation path related to the different crystalline directions. A large superelastic strain up to 11% has been obtained in tension test. The perfect superelasticities have also displayed in bending and torsion tests.
