The invention relates to a preparation method for improving the
mechanical property of a giant magnetostrictive material, and belongs to the field of magnetic materials. The preparation method concretely comprises the following steps of preparing a giant magnetostrictive material
terbium-
dysprosium-iron
alloy with specific orientation through blending, vacuum
smelting and
directional solidification; placing a sample to be treated into a
heat treating furnace, vacuumizing to 0.01 Pa, and then starting heating; continuously vacuumizing in a temperature increasing process; after the temperature inside the
heat treating furnace is increased to 800-1200 DEG C, stopping vacuumization; introducing high-purity
argon to increase the pressure inside the
heat treating furnace to 1-20 MPa, and preserving the heat for 30-180 minutes; after heat preservation is finished, stopping heating, and after the sample is cooled, taking out. According to the invention, the growth of an RFe2 phase contained in the
terbium-
dysprosium-iron
alloy can be inhibited through high-pressure heat treatment; the holes and microcracks can be decreased by regulating the
diffusion and separation of a
rare earth-rich phase; the coalescence of the microcracks of the material is promoted, so that the
mechanical property of the giant magnetostrictive material can be improved, the waste, which is caused due to poor
mechanical property, of the material is reduced, and the requirement for usage under the condition of more working conditions is met. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is easy to operate and suitable for industrialized production.
