Fe-Mn-Si compositions represent newly developed shape memory alloys which are attracting attention due to their low cost and excellent workability. To obtain a shape memory effect, one must precisely control the Ms temperature and the Neel temperature (T{sub N}). In this study, the authors examine differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), magnetic susceptibility, internal friction, and electrical resistivity measurements as ways of determining Ms and T{sub N} in an Fe-30Mn-6Si alloy. The efficiency of these experiments are also discussed and compared.
