Abstract This paper investigates the effects of substitution of Si for Ga on the martensitic transformation behaviours in Ni--Fe--Ga alloys by using optical metallographic microscope and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods. The structure type of Ni$_{55.5}$Fe$_{18}$Ga$_{26.5 - x}$Si$_{x}$ alloys is determined by x-ray diffraction (XRD), and the XRD patterns show the microstructure of Ni--Fe--Ga--Si alloys transformed from body-centred tetragonal martensite (with Si content $x = 0$) to body-centred cubic austenite (with $x = 2$) at room temperature. The martensitic transformation temperatures of the Ni$_{55.5}$Fe$_{18}$Ga$_{26.5 - x}$Si$_{x}$ alloys decrease almost linearly with increasing Si content in the Si content range of $x \le 3$. Thermal treatment also plays an important role on martensitic transformation temperatures in the Ni--Fe--Ga--Si alloy. The valence electronic concentrations, size factor, L2$_{1}$ degree of order and strength of parent phase influence the martensitic transformation temperatures of the Ni--Fe--Ga--Si alloys. An understanding of the relationship between martensitic transformation temperatures and Si content will be significant for designing an appropriate Ni--Fe--Ga--Si alloy for a specific application at a given temperature.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
