Abstract
Various amounts of vanadium were added into the polycrystalline Terfenol-D alloy, Tb0.3Dy0.7Fe2, to investigate its effect on microstructure, hardness and magnetostrictive properties. The studied Tb0.3Dy0.7(Fe1-xVx)2 alloys were prepared by arc-melting and homogenization. V was found to enter and replace Fe sublattices up to x=0.2. With increasing V content, saturation magnetization and magnetostriction at 2 Tesla (λ2T) decrease slightly up to x=0.1 and enormously at x=0.2, while remanence and coercivity increase. Hardness of the x=0.05 alloy (3.33at% V) is the highest among the alloys studied. The λ 2T value can be maintained at higher than 900 ppm for alloys with x⩽0.1 (6.67 at% V). Porosity is high for the x⩾0.1 alloys
