Abstract
The internal friction and elastic modulus variations caused by the structural rearrangement fcc↔fct in Mn-Fe (Cu) antiferromagnetic alloys were studied in this paper. Antiferromagnetic transition exhibits weak first-order features due to the formation of microtwins by modulus softening mechanism. Antiferromagnetic transition also assists subsequent transformation to form twinned martensite. The small hysteresis between direct and reveres martensitic transformations indicates the thermoelastic feature. Both the martensitic and its reverse transformations also depend on the modulus softening mechanism.
