Magnetostrictive materials have excellent magneto-mechanical properties and are widely used in the field of energy conversion. Temperature has an important influence on the magnetic properties of them. Accurately studying the temperature dependence of magnetostrictive materials is a necessary prerequisite for the design of precision actuators. In this paper, we constructed a high-frequency magnetic property measurement system that can control the temperature. The magnetic characteristics of Terfenol-D, Fe-Ga and Fe-Co were measured at temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 80 °C, the frequencies from 1 kHz to 20 kHz and magnetic induction amplitudes from 0.01 T to 0.07 T. The temperature dependence of the three materials under different exciting conditions was comprehensively compared. The variation trends and temperature sensitivities of the coercivity, permeability, equivalent inductance, equivalent resistance and the magnetic energy losses are analyzed respectively. The results of this paper are oriented to practical engineering applications and can be used for high-frequency loss prediction and temperature control system design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
