Iron–gallium (Fe–Ga) alloys have attracted lot of attention for use in sensor and actuator applications due to an excellent combination of large low-field magnetostriction, high mechanical strength, good ductility and low cost. This paper reports the very first measurement of the corrosion behavior...
