Magnetic materials deliver movement

Article Abstract:

Under the influence of applied magnetic fields, rods of Magnetic Shape Memory (MSM) can be made to change length by up to six percent, an effect that is fifty times greater than the material with the greatest response to magnetic field, Terfenol D. Fatigue life is estimated to be greater than 500 millions cycles and operating temperatures are in the range of minus forty degrees centigrade to sixty degrees centigrade.
