The Ni-Mn-Ga magnetic shape memory alloy provokes plenty of interest for application because of the effect that twin variants reorient by the action of an external magnetic field. Most of the experiments were concentrated on single crystals. But, this effect can also be realised in polycrystals which can be prepared much more efficiently. Here, polycrystalline samples were prepared by directional solidification with a <100> fibre texture of the high temperature cubic phase parallel to the heat flow. A heat treatment was applied for chemical homogenisation and stress relaxation. Samples were heated up to the austenitic state and cooled down under load. The microstructure was analysed by EBSD before and after that treatment. Stress-strain curves were measured at room temperature and at 40°C. As a result of such treatment the twinning stress is reduced and the twinning strain is maximised. This work is supported by DFG within SPP 1239.
