Giant Stress-Impedance Effect in CoFeNiMoBSi Alloy in Variation of Applied Magnetic Field

Materials (Basel). 2021 Apr 12;14(8):1919. doi: 10.3390/ma14081919.

Abstract

The article presents the stress impedance investigation of CoFeNiMoBSi alloy in variation of the applied magnetic field. In order to carry out the study, a specialized stand was developed that allows for loading the sample with stresses and simultaneous action of the DC (direct current) magnetizing field. The tests were carried out for as-cast and Joule annealed samples. The significant influence of the magnetizing field acting on the sample on the stress-impedance results was demonstrated and the dependence of the maximum impedance change in the stress-impedance effect was determined, depending on the field acting. The obtained results are important due to the potential use of the stress-impedance effect for the construction of stress sensors.
