Abstract
A magnetostrictive transducer including a plurality of magnetostrictive laminates each having a first end and a second end. The first and second ends of the laminates include openings. The laminates are arranged in a stacked configuration and bonded together by solder at the first and second ends. At the first and second ends the solder extends through the openings of the laminates forming a solder bar therein. The solder bars bond the laminates together with increased mechanical strength and also provide increased electrical contact between the laminates.
