Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for preparing magnetostrictive powder and magnetostrictive coating, and relates to the field of magnetic functional materials and preparation thereof. The method for preparing magnetostrictive powder includes putting metals for preparing magnetostrictive powder into a vacuum melting furnace to be melted into a solution; and atomizing the solution into fine droplets by ultrasonic atomization, so that the fine droplets are cooled and solidified into magnetostrictive powder. In the method for preparing magnetostrictive powder according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sizes of the prepared powder are relatively uniform, the powder yield exceeds 90%, the ultrasonic atomization energy consumption is low, and energy is saved by about ¼ compared with conventional atomization.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a magnetostrictive guided wave sensor and a method for preparing magnetostrictive coating, relating to the field of magnetic functional materials and preparations thereof. The method includes: pretreating a surface of a test piece; and spraying magnetostrictive alloy powder on the pretreated surface of the test piece to form a magnetostrictive coating attached to the pretreated surface. In the magnetostrictive guided wave sensor and the method for preparing magnetostrictive coating according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, by spraying the magnetostrictive coating on the test piece, no coupling agent is required between the probe of the magnetostrictive coating sensor and the test piece, and the magnetostrictive coating can be formed on test pieces of any shape. In addition, the coating has a high bonding strength with the test piece, and has good tissue characteristics and magnetostrictive performance.
