Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetostrictive material includes a FeGaSm alloy that is represented by Expression (1), Fe (100-x-y) Ga x Sm y   (1) (in Expression (1), x and y are respectively a content rate (at. %) of Ga and a content rate (at. %) of Sm, and satisfy that y≤0.35x−4.2, y≤−x+20.1, and y≥−0.1x+2.1).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A magnetostrictive material comprising: a FeGaSm alloy that is represented by Expression (1), Fe (100-x-y) Ga x Sm y   (1) wherein, in Expression (1), x and y are respectively a content rate (at. %) of Ga and a content rate (at. %) of Sm, and satisfy 17≤x≤18 and 0.7≤y≤1.4, and wherein the magnetostrictive material has a magnetostriction quantity of 480 ppm or greater. 2. The magnetostrictive material of claim 1 , wherein an orientation difference of <100> orientation of the FeGaSm alloy is in a range of 0° or greater and 10° or less, with respect to a maximum strain direction of the magnetostrictive material. 3. 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. 4. A magnetostriction type device comprising: the 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.
