The soft magnetic material is produced by steps of heating an iron-based material that is sheet-shaped or foil-shaped, carburizing the iron-based material with a carburizing gas, dispersing a granular carbide in ?-Fe in the iron-based material at a temperature equal to or lower than a eutectoid temperature, transforming the ?-Fe into ?-Fe at a temperature higher than the eutectoid temperature, diffusing nitrogen into the ?-Fe using a nitrogen supply gas to form ?-Fe—N—C, and rapidly heating and then rapidly cooling the ?-Fe—N—C to transform the ?-Fe—N—C into a martensite. The result is a thermally stable soft magnetic material having a saturation magnetic flux density higher than that of pure iron.

Abstract: Provided are a data management apparatus, a data management system, and a data management method capable of creating an alternative for a useful query when a query for operating a database violates a data handling regulation of the database. When data scheduled to be generated based on the database by the query violates a rule that is the data handling regulation of the database, a data processing server generates an alternative query candidate to replace the query. The data processing server determines whether the alternative query candidate violates the rule by determining whether data scheduled to be generated based on the database by the alternative query candidate complies with the rule. When the alternative query candidate does not violate the rule, the data processing server proposes the alternative query candidate as an alternative query.
