Title: Magnetostriction of rapidly quenched Tb(Fe-M)[sub 2] (M = Co, Ni, Mn, Cr, Ti, V) ribbons

Journal Article · · IEEE Translation Journal on Magnetics in Japan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers); (United States)

The magnetostriction of rapidly quenched Tb(Fe[sub 1[minus]x]M[sub x])[sub 2] alloys at room temperature, with M = Co, Ni, Mn, Cr, Ti, V, was investigated. The values of [lambda][sub s] at low values of x (x = 0.05 for M = Ti, V, Mn, Ni; x = 0.1 for M = Cr; x = 0.2 for M=Co) were between 1,500 and 1,700 [times] 10[sup [minus]6], and did not show an appreciable dependence on the element M. For x [>=] 0.1, the value of [lambda][sub s] decreases rapidly with increasing M content for M = Ti, V, Cr. The magnetic softness was evaluated from the magnetostriction at remanence ([lambda][sub R]) and the magnetic softness parameter H[sub c][prime]. The Tb(Fe[sub 0.9]Mn[sub 0.1])[sub 2] alloy shows the best magnetostriction behavior, with values for [lambda][sub s], [lambda][sub R] and H[sub c][prime] of 1,400 [times] 10[sup [minus]6], 620 [times] 10[sup [minus]6] and 24 kA/m, respectively.
