Both of these alloys have <100> easy axes for magnetostriction and demonstrate sufficient ductility for sensor and actuator applications. [6] Schematic of a whisker flow sensor developed using thin-sheet magnetostrictive alloys. Another very common magnetostrictive composite is the amorphous alloy Fe 81 Si 3.5 B 13.5 C 2 with its trade name ...
The principle behind magnetic, mechanical, cable, and other float level sensors often involves the opening or closing of a mechanical switch, either through direct contact with the switch, or magnetic operation of a reed. In other instances, such as magnetostrictive sensors, continuous monitoring is possible using a float principle.
The principle of magnetic actuation is based on the Lorentz Force Equation. F → m a g = q v → × B {\displaystyle {\vec {F}}_{mag}=q{\vec {v}}\times B} When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a static magnetic field, the field produced around the conductor interacts with the static field to produce a force.
where is the magnetostrictive expansion at saturation, and is the angle between the saturation magnetization and the stress's direction. When λ s {\displaystyle \lambda _{s}} and σ {\displaystyle \sigma } are both positive (like in iron under tension), the energy is minimum for θ {\displaystyle \theta } = 0, i.e. when tension is aligned with ...
Magnetostrictive position sensors use the Wiedemann effect to excite an ultrasonic pulse. Typically a small magnet is used to mark a position along a magnetostrictive wire. The magnetic field from a short current pulse in the wire combined with that from the position magnet excites the ultrasonic pulse.
Easier for sensor deployment. Using piezoelectric transducer, the wave propagation angle in the test part is affected by Snell's law. As a result, a small variation in sensor deployment may cause a significant change in the refracted angle. Easier to generate SH-type waves.
The GMR discovery work was carried out by the two groups on slightly different samples. The Fert group used (001)Fe/(001) Cr superlattices wherein the Fe and Cr layers were deposited in a high vacuum on a (001) GaAs substrate kept at 20 °C and the magnetoresistance measurements were taken at low temperature (typically 4.2 K).

Hall sensors can detect stray magnetic fields easily, including that of Earth, so they work well as electronic compasses: but this also means that such stray fields can hinder accurate measurements of small magnetic fields. To solve this problem, Hall sensors are often integrated with magnetic shielding of some kind.
