Due to their first-order magnetostructural transition (FOMST), Ni-Mn-based Heusler alloys exhibit a variety of exploitable phenomena, such as magneto-, elasto-, and multicaloric effects. Functional performance and FOMST can be tailored by compositional and microstructural design. Besides a high cyclic caloric effect as a key requirement for solid-state refrigeration, shaping, functional fatigue, and scalability are key criteria when the material is to reach application. The mechanical strength and cyclic stability can be improved by grain refinement or precipitate formation through doping. By combining the two, it was even possible to achieve a cycle stability of more than 16000 cycles. [1]. Powder-based techniques (such as additive manufacturing (AM), spark plasma sintering, or hot compaction), can be used to achieve scalability and formability. We investigated the entire processing chain from gas-atomized, spherical powder to post-processed parts. In particular, this is important for AM to optimize microstructure, FOMST, and caloric effect [2,3]. We thank the ERC Adv. Grant "CoolInnov", and the CRC/TRR 270 "HoMMage" for funding.
