We present the effects of terbium additives upon the microstructure and magnetic properties of Fe83Ga17Tbx alloys (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8), prepared by vacuum electric arc-melting and directional solidification techniques. Experiments indicate that small amounts of terbium more than double the saturation magnetostriction of a [110] textured Fe83Ga17 alloy with lambda = 72 x 10(-6) and lower the magnetostriction saturation field. The pronounced increase in magnetostriction stems from the appearance of [100] texture in polycrystalline alloys. It is verified that [110] and [100] textures are enhanced by the introduction of terbium atoms preferentially residing in a Tb-rich intergranular phase. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
