In this work, the magnetization response of FeMnAlNi superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) is investigated under stress. Wires with a diameter of 0.5 mm were subjected to repeated abnormal grain growth heat treatments in order to obtain bamboo structured oligocrystalline grains that are necessary for superelasticity. Solution heat treated wires were aged at 200ºC for 3 h to strengthen the austenite matrix. Tensile cyclic tests were performed at room temperature until failure, while the magnetization response of the wires was monitored using a hall sensor during loading and unloading in each cycle. It is observed that after each cycle, overall magnetization of the alloy decreases once the irrecoverable strain is introduced after large deformations and magnetization of the sample is inversely correlated with the irrecoverable strain. The findings of this work show that the magnetic shift in Fe-SMAs under deformation can be used a health monitoring tool in next generation structures to detect large deformations and cracks.
