← ScienceWhich risk increases when increasing grain size within ferromagnetic metals?
A)Increased magnetostriction at lower fields
B)Decreased hysteresis loop coercive force
C)Reduced saturation magnetization temperature stability
D)Elevated susceptibility to Barkhausen noise✓
💡 Explanation
Increased grain size leads to larger magnetic domains. Because domain walls move more discontinuously through easier paths, domain wall pinning decreases, therefore greater susceptibility to Barkhausen noise arises, rather than enhanced magnetostriction, since magnetocrystalline anisotropy dominates over domain size changes.
