"Achievement of large magnetostriction in [001]-textured Mn1-xNixCoSi/e" by Zhishuo Zhang, Bin Chen et al.
As a new kind of high-magnetostriction alloy, MnCoSi shows large magnetostriction during a metamagnetic transition. However, this alloy suffers from low strength, which is caused by the cracks generated from a martensitic transformation during cooling. In this paper, we will report that curing the mixture of MnCoSi-based powders and epoxy under a magnetic field is a promising method to enhance the strength and, meanwhile, maintain good magnetostrictive property. The MnCoSi-based powders used here have a low content of Ni, which can sharply reduce the critical field needed to drive the metamagn...
