I. Todd et al., The effect of ambient gases on surface quality and related properties of nanocrystalline soft magnetic ribbons produced by melt spinning, J MAGN MAGN, 197, 1999, pp. 196-198
The effects of ambient gas type and pressure on the surface quality of melt
spun Fe73.5Si13.5B9Cu1Nb3 soft magnetic alloy ribbons has been studied and
the influence of surface roughness on the coercivity, H-c, of these ultra-
soft magnetic materials determined. The coercivity of ribbons heat treated
to developed minimum H-c increased as a function of ambient chamber pressur
