{{shortShort description|Property of materials that causes them to change their shape during magnetization}}
'''Magnetostriction''' (cf. [[electrostriction]]) is a property of [[magnet|magnetic materials]] that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of [[magnetization]]. The variation of materials' magnetization due to the applied [[magnetic field]] changes the magnetostrictive strain until reaching its saturation value, [[λ]]. The effect was first identified in 1842 by [[James Joule]] when observing a sample of [[iron]].<ref>

Magnetostriction applies to magnetic fields, while [[electrostriction]] applies to electric fields.
This effect causes energy loss due to frictional heating in susceptible ferromagnetic cores.
 
TheMagnetostriction effectcauses energy loss due to frictional heating in susceptible ferromagnetic cores, and is also responsible for the low-pitched humming sound that can be heard coming from transformers, where oscillating ACalternating currents produce a changing magnetic field.<ref>[http://www.sctritonscience.com/Young/whytransformershum.htm Questions & answers on everyday scientific phenomena].

== Explanation ==
Internally, ferromagnetic materials have a structure that is divided into ''[[magnetic domain|domains]]'', each of which is a region of uniform magnetization. When a magnetic field is applied, the boundaries between the domains shift and the domains rotate; both of these effects cause a change in the material's dimensions. The reason that a change in the magnetic domains of a material results in a change in the material's dimensions is a consequence of [[magnetocrystalline anisotropy]]:; it takes more energy to magnetize a crystalline material in one direction than in another. If a magnetic field is applied to the material at an angle to an easy axis of magnetization, the material will tend to rearrange its structure so that an easy axis is aligned with the field to minimize the [[Thermodynamic free energy|free energy]] of the system. Since different crystal directions are associated with different lengths, this effect induces a [[Deformation (mechanics)|strain]] in the material.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=James|first1=R. D.|last2=Wuttig|first2=Manfred|title=Magnetostriction of martensite|journal=Philosophical Magazine A|date=12 August 2009|volume=77|issue=5|pages=1273–1299|doi=10.1080/01418619808214252}}</ref>
 
The reciprocal effect, the change of the magnetic susceptibility (response to an applied field) of a material when subjected to a mechanical stress, is called the [[Villari effect]]. Two other effects are related to magnetostriction: the [[Matteucci effect]] is the creation of a helical anisotropy of the susceptibility of a magnetostrictive material when subjected to a [[torque]] and the [[Wiedemann effect]] is the twisting of these materials when a helical magnetic field is applied to them.
 
The Villari reversal is the change in sign of the magnetostriction of [[iron]] from positive to negative when exposed to magnetic fields of approximately 40&nbsp;[[Amperes_per_meter|kA/m]].
 
On magnetization, a magnetic material undergoes changes in volume which are small: of the order 10<sup>−6</sup>.

Magnetostrictive materials can convert magnetic energy into [[kinetic energy]], or the reverse, and are used to build [[actuator]]s and [[sensor]]s. The property can be quantified by the magnetostrictive coefficient, λ, which may be positive or negative and is defined as the fractional change in length as the magnetization of the material increases from zero to the [[saturation (magnetic)|saturation]] value. The effect is responsible for the familiar "[[mains hum|electric hum]]" ({{Audio|Mains hum 60 Hz.ogg|Listen}}) which can be heard near [[transformer]]s and high power electrical devices.
 
Cobalt exhibits the largest room-temperature magnetostriction of a pure element at 60 [[wikt:microstrain|microstrain]]s. Among alloys, the highest known magnetostriction is exhibited by [[Terfenol-D]], (Ter for [[terbium]], Fe for [[iron]], NOL for [[Naval Ordnance Laboratory]], and D for [[dysprosium]]). Terfenol-D, {{Terbiumchem2|Tb_{''x''}}<sub>Dy_{1−''x</sub>{{Dysprosium''}}<sub>1−x</sub>{{Iron|2Fe2}}, exhibits about 2,000 microstrains in a field of 160 kA/m (2 kOe) at room temperature and is the most commonly used engineering magnetostrictive material.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://aml.seas.ucla.edu/research/areas/magnetostrictive/mag-composites/Magnetostriction%20and%20Magnetostrictive%20Materials.htm |title=Magnetostriction and Magnetostrictive Materials |website=Active Material Laboratory |publisher=[[UCLA]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060202050523/http://aml.seas.ucla.edu/research/areas/magnetostrictive/mag-composites/Magnetostriction%20and%20Magnetostrictive%20Materials.htm |archive-date=2006-02-02}}</ref> [[Galfenol]], {{Ironchem2|Fe_{''x''}}Ga_{{Gallium1−''x''}|auto=1}}<sub>1-x</sub>, and [[AlfenolAlfer]], {{Ironchem2|Fe_{''x''}}Al_{{Aluminum1−''x''} }}<sub>1-x</sub>, are newer alloys that exhibit 200-400 microstrains at lower applied fields (~200 Oe) and have enhanced mechanical properties from the brittle Terfenol-D.

Another very common magnetostrictive composite is the amorphous alloy {{Ironchem2|81}}Fe81Si_{{Silicon}}<sub>3.5</sub>}B_{{Boron}}<sub>13.5</sub>{{Carbon}C2|2auto=1}} with its trade name [[Metglas]] 2605SC. Favourable properties of this material are its high saturation-magnetostriction constant, λ, of about 20 [[wikt:microstrain|microstrain]]s and more, coupled with a low [[magnetic anisotropy|magnetic-anisotropy]] field strength, H<sub>A</sub>, of less than 1 kA/m (to reach [[magnetic saturation]]). [[Metglas]] 2605SC also exhibits a very strong ΔE-effect with reductions in the effective [[Young's modulus]] up to about 80% in bulk. This helps build energy-efficient magnetic [[Microelectromechanical systems|MEMS]].{{Citation needed|reason=source needed for this whole paragraph on Metglas 2605SC information|date=September 2012}}

In early [[sonar]] transducers, during World War II, [[nickel]] was used as a magnetostrictive material. To alleviate the shortage of nickel, the Japanese navy used an [[iron]]-[[aluminium]] alloy from the [[Alperm]] family.
 
===Mechanical behaviors of magnetostrictive alloys===
 
====Effect of microstructure on elastic strain alloys====
[[Single crystal|Single-crystal]] alloys exhibit superior microstrain, but are vulnerable to yielding due to the anisotropic mechanical properties of most metals. It has been observed that for [[polycrystalline]] alloys with a high area coverage of preferential grains for microstrain, the mechanical properties ([[ductility]]) of magnetostrictive alloys can be significantly improved. Targeted metallurgical processing steps promote [[abnormal grain growth]] of {011} grains in [[galfenol]] and [[alperm|alfenol]] thin sheets, which contain two easy axes for magnetic domain alignment during magnetostriction. This can be accomplished by adding particles such as [[boride]] species <ref>{{cite journal|last1=Li|first1=J.H.|last2=Gao|first2=X.X.|last3=Xie|first3=J.X.|last4=Yuan|first4=C.|last5=Zhu|first5=J.|last6=Yu|first6=R.B.|date=July 2012|title=Recrystallization behavior and magnetostriction under pre-compressive stress of Fe–Ga–B sheets|journal=Intermetallics|volume=26|pages=66–71|doi= 10.1016/j.intermet.2012.02.019}}</ref> and [[niobium]] carbide ({{Niobium}}{{Carbonchem2|NbC}}) <ref>{{cite journal|last1=Na|first1=S-M.|last2=Flatau|first2=A.B.|author2-link=Alison Flatau|date=May 2014|title=Texture evolution and probability distribution of Goss orientation in magnetostrictive Fe–Ga alloy sheets|journal=Journal of Materials Science|volume=49|issue=22|pages=7697–7706|doi= 10.1007/s10853-014-8478-7|bibcode=2014JMatS..49.7697N|s2cid=136709323}}</ref> during initial chill casting of the [[ingot]].
 
For a polycrystalline alloy, an established formula for the magnetostriction, λ, from known directional microstrain measurements is:<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Grössinger|first1=R.|last2=Turtelli|first2=R. Sato|last3=Mahmood|first3=N.|date=2014|title=Materials with high magnetostriction|journal=IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering|volume=60|issue=1|pages=012002|doi= 10.1088/1757-899X/60/1/012002|bibcode=2014MS&E...60a2002G|doi-access=free}}</ref>
 
λ<sub>s</sub> = 1/5(2λ<sub>100</sub>+3λ<sub>111</sub>)
 
[[File:Tensiletestgallium.png|thumb|Magnetostrictive alloy deformed to fracture.]]
 
During subsequent [[hot rolling]] and [[Recrystallization (metallurgy)|recrystallization]] steps, particle strengthening occurs in which the particles introduce a “pinning” force at [[grain boundaries]] that hinders normal ([[stochastic]]) grain growth in an annealing step assisted by a {{Hydrogenchem2|2}}{{SulfurH2S|link=hydrogen sulfide}} atmosphere. Thus, single-crystal-like texture (~90% {011} grain coverage) is attainable, reducing the interference with [[magnetic domain]] alignment and increasing microstrain attainable for polycrystalline alloys as measured by semiconducting [[strain gauges]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Na|first1=S-M.|last2=Flatau|first2=A.B.|author2-link=Alison Flatau|date=May 2014|title=Texture evolution and probability distribution of Goss orientation in magnetostrictive Fe–Ga alloy sheets|journal=Journal of Materials Science|volume=49|issue=22|pages=7697–7706|doi= 10.1007/s10853-014-8478-7|bibcode=2014JMatS..49.7697N|s2cid=136709323}}</ref> These surface textures can be visualized using [[electron backscatter diffraction]] (EBSD) or related diffraction techniques.
 
====Compressive stress to induce domain alignment====
For actuator applications, maximum rotation of magnetic moments leads to the highest possible magnetostriction output. This can be achieved by processing techniques such as stress annealing and field annealing. However, mechanical pre-stresses can also be applied to thin sheets to induce alignment perpendicular to actuation as long as the stress is below the buckling limit. For example, it has been demonstrated that applied compressive pre-stress of up to ~50 MPa can result in an increase of magnetostriction by ~90%. This is hypothesized to be due to a "jump" in initial alignment of domains perpendicular to applied stress and improved final alignment parallel to applied stress.<ref>
