In this work, we have discovered that a large enhancement in transducer sensitivity can be gained by increasing the chromium concentration of the steel to as high as the 12% level (with nickel concentrations under l%), without the sacrifice of any essential mechanical properties.
Corresponding to this sensitivity enhancement, we also found that the area of the axial hysteresis curves for the first three of these steels dramatically decreased as the chromium concentration went up to the 12% level, and then gradually increased again as additional chromium was added.
