Study Notes

  • Magnetostriction is a property of magnetic materials that causes them to change shape during magnetization.
  • Ferromagnetic materials have a structure divided into domains, and when a magnetic field is applied, the boundaries between the domains shift and the domains rotate, causing a change in the material's dimensions.
  • The magnetostrictive strain varies until it reaches its saturation value, λ.
  • Magnetostriction causes energy loss due to frictional heating in susceptible ferromagnetic cores.
  • The Villari effect is the change of the magnetic susceptibility of a material when subjected to mechanical stress.
  • Magnetostrictive materials can convert magnetic energy into kinetic energy, or the reverse, and are used to build actuators and sensors.
  • Cobalt exhibits the largest room-temperature magnetostriction of a pure element at 60 microstrains.
  • Terfenol-D is the most commonly used engineering magnetostrictive material.
  • Cobalt ferrite, CoFe2O4, is mainly used for its magnetostrictive applications.
  • Metglas 2605SC exhibits a very strong ΔE-effect with reductions in the effective Young's modulus up to about 80% in bulk.
