  • Control of engineering processes using magnetostrictive alloy compositions
    Patent number: 7179338
    Abstract: Magnetostrictive devices and methods involving a magnetostrictive alloy having; (1) one or more of Pd, and Pt, and (2) one or more of Ni, Co, Fe, where the alloy comprises one or more of PdxNi1?x, PdxFe1?x, PdxCo1?x, PtxNi1?x, PtxFe1?x, PtxCo1?x, where x is less than 1, where magnetostrictive properties and diffusion, and solubility properties than variable in response to variations to a magnetic field to which the alloy is subjected. Devices and methods are used in hydrogen storage, isotopic separation, catalytic systems, actuator/sensor, and other magnetostrictive applications.
