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

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.
