Abstract

The melt-spun, rapid solidified Galfenol (Fe-Gax, (17≤x≤19)) ribbon sample showed a clear angular dependency on magnetostriction and large magnetostriction (180-200ppm) and good ductility, higher strength etc..as compared with conventional bulk sample. This large magnetostriction is caused by non-precipitating of the ordered phases the release of considerable large internal stresses in as-spun ribbon as well as the remained [100] oriented strong textures after annealing. These are worthy for engineering application as a actuator/sensor devices, therefore, we will introduce the micro-valve which was designed as a device for micro gas-flow control. Bimorph-type FeGa/Ni with the opposite value (FeGa(+),Ni(-)) of magnetostriction coefficient. Large displacement of opposite type could be obtained and it degree and hysteresis curve changed depending the volume fraction of the composite actuator structure.
