  • Patent number: 12099039
    Abstract: A new method for evaluating embrittlement of an amorphous alloy ribbon is provided. The method includes: pressing a pressurization member from one side to a plurality of positions of an amorphous alloy ribbon; scattering, in the amorphous alloy ribbon, pressurization portions where the pressurization member is pressed to form indentation; and evaluating embrittlement by the number or distribution of pressurization portions where cracks have occurred.

  • Patent number: 12070794
    Abstract: A method for producing an Fe-based nanocrystalline alloy ribbon, the method including a step of supplying a molten Fe-based alloy onto a rotating chill roll, and rapidly solidifying the molten Fe-based alloy that has been supplied onto the chill roll, thereby obtaining an Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon having a free solidified surface and a roll contact surface, and a step of heat-treating the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon, thereby obtaining an Fe-based nanocrystalline alloy ribbon; wherein an outer peripheral part of the chill roll is composed of a Cu alloy, and a thermal conductivity of the outer peripheral part is from 70 W/(m·K) to 225 W/(m·K).

  • Patent number: 11613101
    Abstract: A magnetic piece, a multilayer magnetic piece and a multilayer core with an adhesive agent of excellent saturation magnetic flux density are provided. The magnetic piece includes a soft magnetic amorphous alloy ribbon 1 and a resin layer 2 provided on at least one surface of the soft magnetic amorphous alloy ribbon. The resin layer contains a resin whose Shore D hardness is not more than 60. The resin may have a Shore D hardness of not more than 25 or may have a Shore D hardness of not less than 1.

  • Patent number: 10356890
    Abstract: This core for a high-frequency acceleration cavity has shape formed with the single roll process by winding, with an interposed insulating layer, a Fe-based nanocrystal alloy thin strip having a roll contact surface and a free surface. The core for a high-frequency acceleration cavity is characterized in that projections having a crater-form depression are dispersed on the free surface of the Fe-based nanocrystal alloy thin strip, and the apexes of the projections are ground and blunted.
