ETREMA Products Terfenol-D Magnetostrictive Smart Material (Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92)  (discontinued **)
Categories: Metal; Electronic/Magnetic Alloy

Material Notes: Terfenol-D is the commercial name for Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92; a composition of material that exhibits giant magnetostriction.

Magnetostriction is the phenomenon in which an applied magnetic field causes an anisotropic change in length in the material (Joule effect) or a change in the stress state of the material changes its magnetic properties (Villari effect).

Magnetostrictive alloys have a wide range of applications in the areas of ultrasonics, sensors, audio, and transducers such as:

  • Actuators
  • Seismic tools
  • Non-round machining
  • High-powered ultrasonics
  • Sonar
  • Fuel injection
  • Vibration control

Information provided by ETREMA Products.

Key Words: T-D, Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe1.92, magnetostrictive, magnetoelastic
