The bending strength and fracture behaviors of Ni50Mn29Ga21 alloy with terbium were investigated.The results show that the bending strength of the alloy is increased dramatically with the increase of terbium content.The fracture appearance of the sample without terbium is dominated by grain boundary fracture,while that with terbium is dominated by cleavage fracture with the increase of terbium content.Moreover,the grains are refined obviously and the oxygen content is decreased after adding terbium.
