In this paper, phase transformations, magnetic properties and exchange bias of Mn50–xCrxNi42Sn8 (x = 0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) polycrystalline samples are investigated. It is found that each of all the alloys has a tetragonal martensite structure at room temperature. The transformation temperature decreases with the increase of Cr content. The maximum magnetization difference between martensite and austenite phase is ∆M = 7.61 emu/g. The change of magnetic properties is mainly related to the change of Mn-Mn distance and the hybridization strength between Ni(A)-Mn(D). The ferromagnetism of martensite can be enhanced by Cr doping. The exchange bias field is observed to reach up to as high as 2624 Oe in Mn50Ni42Sn8 alloy after cooling from room temperature to 5 K in 500 Oe magnetic field, which decreases gradually with the increase of Cr content. Furthermore, the exchange bias field increases first and then followed by a decrease with the increase of the cooling field in Mn49.2Cr0.8Ni42Sn8. This is mainly attributed to the change of the interface exchange coupling between the spin glass state and antiferromagnetic region.
