Abstract: This paper presents measured magnetic and shape memory properties of Fe-Mn-Cr-Si-Sm-B ferromagnetic shape memory ribbons depending on tensile stress and temperature. The samples were produced with the melt spinning method in air and the magnetic properties were measured with an open solenoid type measurement system under controlling their temperature and tensile load. The alloys are multi-functional materials, which have both the ferromagnetic property and shape memory property. The measured results show applicability of the produced ribbon in applications for magnetic sensors and actuators.
