Texture evolution and magnetostriction in rolled (Fe81Ga19)99Nb1 alloy

Ductility enhancement and magnetostriction of polycrystalline Fe–Ga based alloys

“…Recently, our research group has investigated the deformation behavior and magnetostriction of Fe-Ga alloy with Nb addition [13]. We found that the 0.6-mm-thick (Fe 81 Ga 19 ) 99 Nb 1 sheet with {1 0 0} 0 0 1 texture had magnetostrictive value of 134 ppm.…”

Antiferromagnetic Mn50Fe50 wire with large magnetostriction

“…In 2006, Peng and Zhang have reported that the magnetostriction of an antiferromagnetic gMn 42 Fe 58 polycrystalline sample can reach 169 ppm under 1 T [7]. This value is comparable to that of ferromagnetic Fe-Ga alloys [8,9], although it requires a much higher magnetic field. Moreover, Mn-Fe alloys possess a high mechanical strength and good ductility, in addition to the low material cost [10,11].…”

Effect of Al substitution for Ga on the mechanical properties of directional solidified Fe-Ga alloys

“…Although single crystal Fe-Ga alloys are quite tough, polycrystalline Fe-Ga alloys can suffer from intergranular fracture due to weak grain boundaries [5][6][7]. Recently, studies on Fe-Ga alloys have shown that addition of small amounts of alloying elements leads to improvement of grain boundary strength and then enhancement in the mechanical strength and ductility [8][9][10][11][12].…”
