  • Patent number: 12062475
    Abstract: To provide a soft magnetic alloy or the like, from which a magnetic component having a good temperature property of core loss can be obtained. The soft magnetic alloy includes Fe. The soft magnetic alloy includes a crystallite, and an amorphous phase existing around the crystallite. A total area ratio of the crystallite in a cross section of the soft magnetic alloy is 40% or more and less than 60%. An average thickness of the amorphous phase is 3.0 nm or more and 10.0 nm or less. A standard deviation of a thickness of the amorphous phase is 10.0 nm or less.

  • Patent number: 11441213
    Abstract: A soft magnetic alloy ribbon having high corrosion resistance and good magnetic properties is obtained. The soft magnetic alloy ribbon contains Fe and M. M is at least one selected from the group consisting of Nb, Ta, W, Zr, Hf, Mo, Cr, and Ti, and a part of M is included in oxides. A maximum point of a concentration of at least one of M included in the oxides is present in a region within 20 nm from the surface, when a concentration distribution of an element contained in the soft magnetic alloy ribbon is measured from a surface toward an interior of the soft magnetic alloy ribbon in a thickness direction.
