The effects of Tb doping on the magnetostrictive properties and mechanical properties of Fe73Ga27−xAlx alloys
摘要
The complex mechanical service environment of Fe–Ga alloys in transducers, drivers and sensors requires the material itself to have good comprehensive performance, that is, high magnetostrictive strain, but also should have good mechanical properties. Considering that doping trace Tb element can improve the magnetostrictive strain of Fe–Ga alloys, Fe73Ga27−xAlx and (Fe73Ga27−yAly)99.8Tb0.2 (x, y = 0, 3, 4) were prepared by vacuum arc furnace in this paper to investigate the impact of Tb element doping on the properties of Fe–Ga alloys. The results show that Tb doping alters the orientation degree of
