  • Publication number: 20220351900
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for producing magnetic material. The method includes providing a mixture of alloys. The composition of alloy are not particularly limited. The method includes melting the mixture of alloys to arrive at a molten mixture of alloys. The method includes performing a melt-spinning process to rapidly solidify the molten mixture of alloys via a rotatable wheel to arrive at a preliminary metallic ribbon. The preliminary metallic ribbon having an elongated flat body with a bottom side and a top side, the top side opposite to the bottom side. The method includes performing a grain size refinement and uniformity process, the grain size refinement and uniformity process including delivering a first coolant directly to at least a central region of the top side and/or bottom side of the preliminary metallic ribbon to arrive at a final metallic ribbon.

  • Patent number: 6478890
    Abstract: Isotropic magnetic alloy powder having an intrinsic magnetic induction of at least two third of its magnetic remanence and method for making same are provided. The powder is made from an alloy having a composition comprising, by weight percentage, approximately 15 to 35 percent of one or more rare earth metals, approximately 0.5 to 4.5 percent of boron, and approximately 0 to 20 percent of cobalt, balanced with iron. The alloy powder is made by a process wherein an amount of the alloy is melt and spun in an inert environment, preferably at a distance between an orifice and a wheel being less than one and one half inches, into ribbons, followed by crushing the ribbons into powder and annealing the powder.
