Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to microminiaturize and sensitize a dynamic-force-sensor head, and to accelerate its response by a method wherein, in a state that an AC current is electrified to a magnetic substance, the impedance of the magnetic substance is changed with reference to a stress and a gage factor is increased. SOLUTION: An amorphous wire which is created by a rotation underwater rapid quenching method is drawn, it is heated at about 475 deg.C for about two minutes in a state that tension is applied, it is quenched at room temperature, and an amorphous wire 1 is obtained. The amorphous wire has a diameter of about 30μm and a length of about 20mm, it is composed of Co72.5 Si12.5 B15 , and it has a magnetostrictive value of about -3×10<-6> . A sine-wave AC power supply 2 is connected to the wire, and a current at a constant amplitude is made to flow through an internal resistor 3. For example, a current at a frequency of about 20MHz and at an amplitude of about 20mA is made to flow from the sine-wave AC power supply 2, and a tension F of, e.g. 13MPa is applied to the amorphous wire 1. Then, the amplitude of a voltage Em across both ends of the wire is reduced by about 20%, and a strain gage factor is increased to about 1286. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a sensor head whose speed can be made fast and whose sensitivity can be made high.

The MI effect is such that the impedance of a magnetic material is sensitively changed by an external magnetic field in a state where a high frequency current or a pulse current is applied to a high magnetic permeability magnetic material such as an amorphous wire to generate a skin effect. It was done. In the MI effect, since a demagnetizing field is hardly generated inside the magnetic material, unlike a flux gate sensor, even if the length of the magnetic material is reduced to 1 mm or less, the magnetic field detection sensitivity does not deteriorate, and a micro-sized high sensitivity is obtained. -A high-speed response magnetic field sensor can be configured.

According to the present invention, in the MI effect, the magnitude of the impedance of the magnetic head is proportional to the square root Δωμ of the product of the excitation angular frequency ω, the energizing current and the magnetic permeability μ in the perpendicular direction, and the magnetic permeability μ is determined by the external magnetic field. It changes with it. By further developing this principle, I intuitively realized that a high-sensitivity micro stress sensor can be configured by changing the magnetic permeability μ by the stress σ by a stress-magnetic effect using a magnetostrictive material as a magnetic material.

In this case, if the amorphous wire is annealed by applying a relatively strong stress to increase the anisotropic energy, only the stress is detected as a change in impedance without a change in the magnetic permeability μ due to a disturbance magnetic field of the terrestrial magnetism. Robustness is realized.
