摘要

The magnetostrictions of polycrystalline Nd-Fe-B and Sr-ferrite at different temperatures are reinvestigated using a strain gauge rotating-sample method. It is found that the magnetostriction lambda(s) of Nd-Fe-B is +52x10(-6), and that of Sr-ferrite is -25x10(-6) under a magnetic field of 8T at room temperature. The maximum energy product (BH)(max) of the Nd-Fe-B magnet is improved when the powders are magnetically aligned perpendicular to the pressing direction, whereas that of the Sr-ferrite magnet is better when the powders are aligned parallel to the pressing direction. These experimental results suggest that the magnetostriction can generate compressive strain anisotropy resulting from the inverse effect of the magnetostriction. Thus, the magnetization of materials with a negative coefficient of magnetostriction are easier to be aligned normal to the stress direction, while for the materials with a positive coefficient of magnetostriction, the magnetization is easier to be aligned along the stress direction. Therefore, the magnetostriction anisotropy can be used to improve the alignment of the magnetic powders as well as the performance of the magnets.
