Abstract (en)

It is an object of the present invention to provide a ferromagnetic Fe-based alloy having a large reversible strain obtained by application and removal of a magnetic field gradient. The Fe-based alloy contains one or two or more types selected from Al: 0.01 to 11%, Si: 0.01 to 7% and Cr: 0.01 to 26%, or Al: 0.01 to 11%, Si: 0.01 to 7%, Cr: 0.01 to 26% and Ni: 35 to 50%. A twin crystal interface is introduced by working the Fe-based alloy at a working rate: 10% or more. An area ratio of the twin crystal interface to a crystal grain boundary is 0.2 or more. One or two or more types of Ti: 0.01 to 5%, V: 0.01 to 10%, Mn: 0.01 to 5%, Co: 0.01 to 30%, Ni: 0.01 to 10%, Cu: 0.01 to 5%, Zr: 0.01 to 5%, Nb: 0.01 to 5%, Mo: 0.01 to 5%, Hf: 0.01 to 5%, Ta: 0.01 to 5%, W: 0.01 to 5%, B: 0.001 to 1%, C: 0.001 to 1%, P: 0.001 to 1% and S: 0.001 to 1% may be added to the Fe-based alloy if needed.
