Abstract
Effects of a dc magnetic field on the isothermal martensitc transformation in the region of the kinetic maximum of the Fe-24%Ni-4%Mn
alloy and on the martemsitic transformation at a liquid-helium temperature were studied. It was shown that a dc magnetic field
markedly affects the isothermal martensitic transformation. In particular, it shifts the temperature range of the martensitic
transformation and the kinetic maximum toward higher temperatures and initiates the nucleation of isothermal martensite crystals
and their subsequent growth upon isothermal holding. A dc magnetic field of a sufficiently high strength causes the intense
formation of athermal martensite at the liquid-helium temperature, at which no transformation develops without a magnetic
field. A comparison of the effects of the pulse and dc magnetic fields on the martensitic transformation in the alloys with
martensite transformation isothermal kinetics was carried out.
