  • Patent number: 11232901
    Abstract: A method for producing a magnetic core includes a processing step of giving a desired shape to a strip made of an alloy composition, a heat-treating step of forming bcc-Fe crystals, and then a stacking step of obtaining a magnetic core having a shape. Here, the alloy composition is Fe—B—Si—P—Cu—C and has an amorphous phase as a primary phase. In the heat-treating step, the strip is heated up to a temperature higher than a crystallization temperature of the alloy composition at a high heating rate.
