Compressive Strength

REMA-CN manufactures the alloy of TbDyFe which is well known by the brand name of Terfenol-D.

Compressive strength or compression strength is the capacity of TbDyFe alloy or Terfenol-D to withstand loads tending to reduce the size, as opposed to tensile strength, which withstands loads tending to elongate.

A few years ago, we test the compressive strength when a lot was manufactured. At that time, we had it ≥ 400MPa. Since then, we had not tested compressive strength for a long time.

This year, one of our customers that there was quite a difference between Terfenol-D and our product, in the term of compressive strength. We are certain our product improved since the last test and asked Xi'an University of Technology to do it again. This time we had 774.09MPa.
