Terbium-Dysprosium-Fe (TbDyFe) alloy rare-earth super magnetostrictive material Terfenol-D Introduction

Terbium-Dysprosium-Fe (TbDyFe) alloy is a new type of rare-earth super-magnetostrictive material, whose magnetostrictive strain (coefficient of magnetostriction) at room temperature is so large that it is incomparable to that of any previous field-strictive material. It is dozens of times larger than the strain of traditional magnetostrictive alloys such as nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co), and more than five times that of electrostrictive materials. It can efficiently realize the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy and transmit a huge amount of energy. Within a very short period of time from 10-5 to 10-6 seconds, a hysteresis-free type response matching the static and dynamic characteristics of the magnetic field is precisely and stably formed. The response is stable and agile, making terbium-dysprosium ferroalloy as the driving element of the mechanical system response lag time significantly reduced, which is also terbium-dysprosium ferroalloy components in the alternating magnetic field in the rapid generation of expansion and contraction of the response of the important characteristics, which makes it in the development of science and technology in the industry as an executive element, control components, sensitive components have been more and more widely used!

One of the achievements of rare earth super magnetostrictive materials in the field of acoustics is the flat panel loudspeaker technology. Flat panel loudspeaker (Flat panel technology) has excellent frequency response characteristics and sound quality, can produce a 360-degree sound field, almost through any plane, opening up the possibility of designing a variety of new loudspeakers.

The use of rare-earth super magnetostrictive material elements for microdisplacement mechanisms allows for fast, precise, and stable control of complex displacement motions. In the accurate joint control of robots; precision displacement control of machine tool components; servo tool holder control of molding processing machine tools; compensation control of mechanism transmission error and tool wear; powerful contact control of switches and relays in the power distribution system; fine focusing of laser mirrors, telescopes, and electron microscopes and other controls, it can significantly optimize the structure, improve the performance, improve the efficiency, and reduce the loss.

Random control in linear motors, servo valves, powerful hydraulic pumps, precision infusion pumps (medical), high-speed valves, fuel injection systems (automobile engines) and other devices driven by rare-earth super-magnetostrictive materials can effectively increase the degree of automation, simplify the hydraulic control system, and achieve high efficiency and energy saving, safety and reliability.

Terbium dysprosium ferroalloy components can effectively control the vibration of mechanical systems by utilizing the immediate response characteristics of terbium dysprosium ferroalloy components to achieve the purpose of vibration and noise reduction. Conversely, the controllable characteristics of rare earth super magnetostrictive material components can be utilized to improve vibratory processes (polishing, vibratory cutting) and improve product quality and productivity.

The above are some examples of the applications of rare earth super magnetostrictive materials, but they are by no means the pinnacle of applications. More applications of rare earth super magnetostrictive materials are being developed, and we believe that it has a broad application prospect and far-reaching influence in the development of new products in various industries.
