Abstract:In this paper, we compare different techniques to manufacture high-performance miniature disks of Terfenol-D aiming at self-powered IoT sensors. To reach large in-plane magnetostriction while maintaining low driving field, microstructure engineering is essential. This work covers monocrystalline, polycrystalline and hot-pressed powder materials whose performances are analyzed. A "performance phase diagram per technique" is reported at the end.
