Abstract Arrays of nanowires are fabricated with alternating segments the magnetostrictive alloy Fe 1– x Ga and Cu using electrochemical deposition in nanoporous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) templates. The difficult nature Ga‐alloy electrochemistry is overcome by controlling mass‐transfer hydrodynamic conditions novel rotating disk electrode templates to obtain highly uniform segment lengths throughout arrays.

Single crystal samples of quenched Fe81.3Ga18.7 and slow cooled Fe81.3Ga18.6C0.08 exhibit magnetostriction ∼400ppm. However, they also a sufficiently high permeability that eddy currents, which form in proportion to sample thickness, limit their operation at frequencies. During attempts roll thin sheets carbon-added Fe81Ga19 alloys, cracks formed along grain boundaries subsequently fractured during hot rolling such the alloy was too brittle make sheets.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) containing multiple principle alloying elements exhibit unique properties so they are currently receiving great attention for developing innovative alloy designs. In FeCoNi-based HEAs, magnetic behaviors strongly depend on the addition of elements, usually accompanied by structural changes. this work, effect non-magnetic components ferromagnetic transition and in equiatomic FeCoNiCrX (X=Al, Ga, Mn Sn) HEAs was investigated. Alloy ingots nominal compositions were...

Single Goss grains were globally grown in magnetostrictive Galfenol thin sheets via an abnormal grain growth (AGG) process. The sample behaves like single crystal Galfenol, exhibiting large magnetostriction along the 〈100〉 axes. Small variations surface energy conditions, which governed by different flow rates of 0.5% H2S gas argon during annealing, had a significant impact development AGG. AGG with fully developed (011) over 95% is very reproducible and feasible for broad range annealing...
