A Co based alloy including at least one member selected from among 0.01 to 10% Fe, 0.01 to 30% Ni and 0.01 to 25% Mn, which Co based alloy has a metal structure wherein epsilon-phase of h.c.p. structure having been generated by heat-induced or stress-induced transformation is formed in a ratio of 10 vol. % or more. According to necessity, there may be added at least one member selected from among 0.01 to 10% Al, 0.01 to 35% Cr, to 20% V, 0.01 to 15% Ti, 0.01 to 30% Mo, 0.01 to 10% Nb, to 3% Zr, 001 to 30% W, 0.01 to 10% Ta, 0.01 to 5% Hf, 0.01 to 8% Si, 0.001 to 3% C, 0.001 to 3% B, 0.001 to 3% P and 0.001 to 3% misch metal. The Co based alloy exhibits high elastic deformation capability and is good in ductility and workability. The Co based alloy is used as a functional material of, for example, sensor or actuator capable of displacement control by magnetic field application.
