Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetostrictive material includes a FeGaBa alloy that is represented by Expression (1), Fe (100-x-y) Ga x Ba y   (1) (in Expression (1), x and y are respectively a content rate (at. %) of Ga and a content rate (at. %) of Ba, and satisfy that y≤0.012x−0.168, y≤−0.05x+1.01, and y≥−0.04/7x+0.87/7).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A magnetostrictive material comprising: a FeGaBa alloy that is represented by Expression (1), Fe (100-x-y) Ga x Ba y   (1) wherein, x and y are respectively a content rate (at. %) of Ga and a content rate (at. %) of Ba, 16.5≤x≤20, 0.01≤y≤0.06, y≤0.012x−0.168 for 16.5≤x≤19, y≤−0.05x+1.01 for 19≤x≤20, and y≥(−0.04/7)x+0.87/7; and wherein an orientation difference of <100>orientation of the FeGaBa alloy is in a range of 0° or greater and 10° or less, with respect to a maximum strain direction of the magnetostrictive material. 2. The magnetostrictive material of claim 1 , wherein in Expression (1), x and y satisfy that 18.5≤x≤19 and 0.02≤y≤0.04. 3. A magnetostriction type device comprising: magnetostrictive material of claim 1 , wherein a maximum strain direction of the magnetostrictive material is configured to form an inclination angle of 0° or greater and 10° or less, with respect to a predetermined direction of a dimensional change of the magnetostriction type device. 4. A magnetostriction type device comprising: the magnetostrictive material of claim 2 , wherein a maximum strain direction of the magnetostrictive material is configured to form an inclination angle of 0° or greater and 10° or less, with respect to a predetermined direction of a dimensional change of the magnetostriction type device.
