Application: Magnetostrictive member and method for manufacturing magnetostrictive member (Patent ID: US20240099146A1)

The patent filed by Sumitomo Metal Mining Co Ltd focuses on a magnetostrictive member made of a single crystal of an iron-based alloy with specific characteristics. The member is a plate-like body with a long-side and short-side direction, and its lattice constant in the <100> orientation of the long-side direction must not exceed a calculated average from lattice constants in three directions. Additionally, the member must have a magnetostriction constant of 250 ppm or more and a parallel magnetostriction amount of 250 ppm or more.

Furthermore, the manufacturing methods outlined in the patent involve cutting the single crystal to ensure the lattice constant of the <100> orientation in the long-side direction meets the specified criteria. The thickness of the plate-like body is also defined within a range of 0.3 mm to 2 mm. Overall, the patent aims to create magnetostrictive members with precise characteristics for specific applications, particularly focusing on the Fe-Ga alloy and its magnetostrictive properties.
