(Cl. 175-21) This invention relates to magnetostrictive devices and to materials suitable for use in such devices and to methods of producing such devices and such materials.
In particular, this invention relates to magnetostrictive devices in which the magnetostrictive element is made of a permanently magnetized body of an alloy comprising cobalt and iron, preferably with a small amount of vanadium added, which has been subjected to a special treatment comprising working and heating. Such a treatment gives a suflicient coercive force to the alloy so that a magnetostrictive element made from it may be efficiently operated entirely on remanence without the aid of an external polarizing device.
In using magnetostrictive devices having magnetostrictive elements which vibrate mechanically under the influence of a magnetic winding supplied with an alternating current, it has been found that the greatest degree of magnetostriction' is obtained when the vibrating element is magnetically polarized. This polarization is also necessary in order to bring the total flux density within the element to a point at which there will be no reversal of magnetic flux direction in the magnetostrictive device throughout the alternating current cycle, and at which the change in dimensions of the element will be substantially proportional to the change in flux density so that the wave form of the mechanical vibrations of f the magnetostriction element will conform as nearly as possible to the wave form of the alternating current applied to it.
Ordinarily, the polarization of the magnetostriction element has been accomplished by means of an external direct current winding applied to the element, by means of a direct current superimposed upon the alternating current winding or, by a permanent magnet placed in the magnetic circuit of the element. The use of the external winding or superimposed direct current or the permanent magnet to polarize the element presented difiiculties since the external winding andthe superimposed direct current required a source of power, while if the external permanent magnet was used the device did not operate in a closed magnetic circuit. Also, the use of an external polarizing winding or Of an enlarged alternating current winding to carry the extra biasing current together with the required additional power supply, or the use of an external permanent magnet, took up extra space which was undesirable in equipment where available space was at a minimum.
In the device of the present-invention the above-described difliculties are avoided by using, for the magnetostrictive element, an alloy of cobalt and iron (preferably containing a small amount of vanadium) which has been subjected to a special treatment which confers on it a sufficiently high coercive force so that the vibrating element may be operated entirely on remanence for most purposes without being demagnetized by the alternating current required. This does away with the necessity of using the external polarizing winding or magnet with the resulting saving in space and power. Even for uses requiring large values of alternating currents which would, in the absence of a biasing field, tend to demagnetize the magnetostrictive cores of the present invention, such cores are desirable since they reduce considerably the necessary size of supplementary biasing equipment.
It has been known that alloys of cobalt and iron or of vanadium, cobalt and iron are useful as magnetic materials. However, it was not previously known that such alloys, having a certain range of composition if given a special heat treatment, would acquire properties rendering them suitable for use as vibratory magnetostrictive elements without a biasing field. The present invention provides a method of treating such alloys to make them suitable for such use in magnetostrictive devices.
According to the present invention, in its preferred form, vibrating magnetostrictive elements are made from an alloy comprising 2 per cent by weight of vanadium, 49 per cent by weight of cobalt and 49 per cent by weight of iron, which has been cold worked and then annealed at from 450 C. to 650 0. Although this range is the preferred composition, favorable results are also obtained when the alloy comprises from about per cent to about eper cent by weight of vanadium, about per cent to about '70 per cent by weight of cobalt and the remainder iron. Good results are also obtained with alloys having similar proportions of cobalt and iron and containing less vanadium or none at all.
Good results are obtained when these alloys are formed of the purest ingredients with the least inclusion of impurities or modifying ingredients. However, when the alloy is formed of commercial substances, there will ordinarily be small amounts of impurities present but such impurities should ordinarily be kept below about 1 per cent total and preferably below about per cent. Particularly harmful impurities such as carbon and sulphur should be avoided in so far as possible. Carbon is preferably not present in 3 4 amounts greater than about .1 per cent. Desul- Fig. 2 i a perspective vi w r a fini hed unit phurization by addition of manganese to the melt employing a vibrating element as shown in Fig. 1, ordinarily results in an adequate removal of sulportion of the unit being broken away to show phur.

to produce the desired magnetic pr per i s p n The beneficial which the present invention is depend nt is a described treatment of the alloy comprising vacold working of the alloy. This cold working is nadium, cobalt and iron are shown clearly in the though obviously other common forms of cold coercive force with the annealing temperature deformation of the metal may be employed. This and also the variation of the efficiency of the cold working step is essential to the development material operating on remanence with the anof the desired coercive force in the alloy. healing temperature. These results were obdeveloped when the alloy is cold rolled to a thickequal parts by weight of iron and cobalt and 2 alloy is to be rolled into thin tapes, as is prefrolled into a tape 2 mils in thickness and formed erable for the formation of'the magnetostrictive into a magnetostrictive device as shown in Fig. 2 devices of the present invention as will be deand described more fully below Analogous rescribed in more detail below, thickness reducsuits are obtained with devices formed from altions of the order of 90% or more may be found loys having different proportions and from alloys desirable.

' Other convenient methods oi insulating the magnetostrictive element may of course be used.
The body impregnated, it may be subjected to a magnetizing force from an applied current or an external permanent magnet sufliciently strong to magnetize it, preferably to at least its saturation point or near thereto, so as to cause it to be permanently magnetized in one direction.
The alloy treated according to the process of the present invention may be used in the magnetostrictive element in the form of a toroidal spirally wound tape core as described above, as well as in the form of stack-laminated cores made either irom circular rings or rectangular plates or in various suitable forms of other types.

In general, the magnetostrictive devices of the present invention may be used in place of piezoelectric crystals device in which such crystals are used.
