<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a magnetostrictive element, capable of assuredly producing a magnetostrictive element by powder metallurgy. <P>SOLUTION: In a container for sintering 10, a compact 100 is sintered into a magnetostrictive element having a composition of SmFe<SB>2</SB>while held by a support 20 of SmFe<SB>2</SB>or Nb stable during the sintering step. The support 20 is composed of particles coming into contact with the compact 100 at multiple points, to control fusion-bonding between the support 20 and the compact 100 to a limited extent. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
