摘要 |
This invention is a magnetostriction transducer (26) including a plurality of magnetostriction laminates (28) each having a first end (30) and a second end (32). The first (30), and second (32) ends of the laminates (28) include openings (38, 40). The laminates (28) are arranged in a stacked configuration, bonded together by solder (34, 36) at the first (30), and second (32) ends. At the first (30), and second ends (32) the solder extends through the openings (34, 38) of the laminates (28) forming a solder bar (34, 36) therein. The solder bars (34, 36) bond the laminates (28) together with increased mechanical strength, and also provide increased electrical contact between the laminates (28).
