چکیده
Single crystal specimens of Fe-17 at. % Ga were tested in tension at room temperature. Specimens with a tensile axis orientation of [110] displayed slip lines on the specimen faces corresponding to slip on the {110}with a critical resolved shear stress of 220 MPa. Yielding began at 0.3% elongation and 450 MPa. An ultimate tensile strength of 580 MPa was observed with no fracture occurring through 1.6% elongation. The Young"s modulus was 160 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson"s ratio of -0.37 on the (100) major face. A specimen with a tensile axis orientation of [100] showed slip lines corresponding to slip on the {211}with critical resolved shear stress of 240 MPa. Discontinuous yielding began at 0.8% elongation, which was thought to result from twinning, kink band formation, or stress-induced transformation. The Young's modulus was 65 GPa in the loading direction with a Poisson"s ratio of 0.45 on the (001) major face. A maximum tensile strength of 515 MPa was observed with fracture occurring after 2% elongation. A sizeable elastic anisotropy of 19.9 was identified for Fe-27.2 at. % Ga accompanied by a Poisson's ratio of -0.75 to produce a large in-plane auxetic behavior.

متن کاملMagnetic domains in magnetostrictive Fe–Ga alloys
Lorentz microscopy was applied to the observation of magnetic domains in iron-gallium (Fe–Ga) alloys. Results did not show any link between the magnetic domains and the magnetostriction enhancement by Ga addition, but did reveal that the drastic decrease in magnetostriction for Fe–31.2 at. % Ga was due to the presence of large scale precipitates. Magnetic domain features did not change in the a...
متن کاملEffect of B and Cr on Mechanical Properties and Magnetostriction of Iron-Gallium Alloy
Effects of B and Cr additions on magnetostriction and the mechanical properties of polycrystalline Fe83Ga17 alloy were investigated. Small addition of B increased magnetostriction of Fe83Ga17 alloy slightly, and improved the room temperature ductility and tensile strength significantly. The elongation and tensile strength of the (Fe83Ga17)99B1 alloy increased to 3.56% and 548MPa compared with t...

Magnetomechanical performance of directionally solidified Fe–Ga alloys
Iron-gallium alloys can produce magnetostrictions of 400 ppm and might serve as mechanically robust actuator/sensing materials. However, for polycrystalline Fe–Ga alloys, the magnetostrictive performance decreases with the increasing deviations from the ideal 100 texture. In this paper, three directionally solidified Fe–Ga alloys with gallium contents of 17, 18.4, and 19.5 at. % were characteri...
