Magnetic properties of Fe based composite materials with different particle sizes under a cryogenic condition have been investigated. Realisation of this venture has been carried out at the liquid nitrogen temperature. Results of energy loss density were obtained from measurements of the static (dc) hysteresis cycles ranging from 0·1 to 1·0 T. In turn, results of power loss density were obtained from measurements of the dynamic (ac) hysteresis cycles ranging from 50 to 1000 Hz and at the maximum flux density of 0·5, 0·8 and 1·0 T. The study confirmed the influence of temperature on magnetic parameters. It has been shown that total power loss density has increased with decreasing temperature. We report changes in a nature of energy loss after immersing specimens made of soft magnetic composites in liquid nitrogen. Measurements of the maximum relative permeability were also conducted.

This paper describes a structure of a typical actuator with magnetostrictive core. Based on equations of modified Jiles-Atherton model, algorithm and computer application for calculation of magnetomechanical hysteresis, distinctive for magnetostrictive transducers were developed. Furthermore, influence of compressive stress on maximum strain were presented.
