Magnetostriction of heavily deformed Fe–Co binary alloys prepared by forging and cold rolling

Abstract

Magnetostriction of Fe 1-x Co x (x=50-90 at%) alloys prepared by forging and subsequent cold-rolling was studied as functions of alloy compositions and thermomechanical treatments. Magnetostriction of the as-forged Fe 25 Co 75 alloy was 108 ppm and that of the as-cold rolled Fe 25 Co 75 alloy measured parallel to the rolling direction (RD) was 128 ppm. The cold-rolled Fe 25 Co 75 alloy possessed a nearly {100}<011> texture, leading to the maximum magnetostriction of 140 ppm when measured at an angle of 45° to RD. Moreover, the fully annealed Fe 25 Co 75 and Fe 20 Co 80 alloys were gradually cold rolled and magnetostriction were measured. Results showed that the magnetostriction of those cold-rolled alloys drastically increased with increasing reduction rate. According to the XRD and TEM observations, intensity of the fcc peak gradually decreased with increasing reduction rate and that the alloys became to be in a bcc single state at a reduction rate higher than 90%, leading to a drastic increase in magnetostriction.

A Review on Piezoelectric, Magnetostrictive, and Magnetoelectric Materials and Device Technologies for Energy Harvesting Applications

“…Table 1 compares the typical material properties of Fe-Co alloys, Terfenol-D, and Galfenol. [27] Heterogeneous magnetostriction of Fe-Co alloys controlled by nanoinclusions was reported. Magnetostriction of Fe 1-x Co x (x ¼ 50-90 at%) alloys prepared by forging and subsequent cold-rolling was investigated as a function of the alloy composition and thermomechanical treatment.…”

Inverse Magnetostrictive Effect in Fe29Co71 Wire/Polymer Composites

“…Fe–Co alloys being magnetostrictive materials can be good candidates for energy harvesting device applications because of their abundance and lower cost compared with Terfenol‐D and Galfenol. Recently, magnetostriction of Fe 1− x Co x ( x = 50–90 at%) alloys prepared by forging and subsequent cold rolling has been studied for various alloy compositions and thermomechanical treatments . The effect of heat treatment on the rapidly solidified Fe–Co alloys with high Co content has also been investigated .…”

Carriers for the tunable release of therapeutics: etymological classification and examples

“…However, this was refuted with the development of self-setting pastes in which the release of antibiotics could be modeled with simplistic equations allowing for the prediction of release properties depending on a single, easily controllable compositional parameter[22]. As far as the externally triggered release platforms are concerned, piezoelectric and magnetostrictive materials, deforming in direct proportionality with the intensity of the applied electric[94] or magnetic[95] fields, respectively, and potentially releasing the captured drug in a kinetically controllable fashion, present another class of ceramics that could be investigated for tunable delivery. Nanotubes, e.g.…”
