Abstract: In an Fe-base alloy, Ni is contained by 28 to 34% by weight and Co by 2 to 7% by weight with an average grain size of 30 .mu.m or less. 60 to 95% of crystal grains are oriented in a range of .+-.5 to 45 degrees deviated from the ideal orientation of {100} [001]. Resultant low thermal expansion of the alloy assures high doming characteristics of a shadow mask made thereof.

Abstract: In manufacturing of lamina used for components for magnetic heads such as head cores and shield casings, powder metallurgy is applied to powder material of a permalloy alloy composition in combination with later-staged rolling. Addition of at least one easily oxidizable element is preferably combined with formation of the material powder by means of atomization, more preferably followed by annealing within a reducing atmosphere. Measured formation of oxidized shells on powder particles assists uniform and smooth dispersion of smashed shell flakes into the lamina, thereby greatly raising abrasion resistance of the product without lowering the magnetic properties.
