Abstract:
An Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon reduced in iron loss, less deformed, and highly productive in a condition of a magnetic flux density of 1.45 T is provided. One aspect of the present disclosure provides an Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon having first and second surfaces, and is provided with continuous linear laser irradiation marks on at least the first surface. Each linear laser irradiation mark is formed along a direction orthogonal to a casting direction of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon, and has unevenness on its surface. When the unevenness is evaluated in the casting direction, a height difference HL×width WA calculated from the height difference HL between a highest point and a lowest point in a thickness direction of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon and the width WA which is a length of the linear irradiation mark on the first surface is 6.0 to 180 μm2.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a magnetic substrate for an encoder scale. The method comprising the step of mechanically working the substrate, wherein the substrate is cooled prior to the mechanical working step. In one embodiment, a stainless steel substrate is used. The stainless steel may comprise an austenite (non-magnetic) phase and a martensite (magnetic) phase. Mechanically working and cooling in this manner increases the amount of magnetic (martensite) phase material that is formed, thereby improving the magnetic contrast when non-magnetic (austenite) marking are subsequently formed on the substrate by laser marking.

Abstract:
A resist coating for etching use which enables high speed and high accuracy patterning is provided by applying, to a cold rolled steel strip, a positive resist ink which solubilizes upon exposure to light; then drying the positive resist ink to form a resist coating; then scanning a laser beam converged in a point shape in the width direction of the cold rolled steel strip to form a photosensitive portion; and then removing the photosensitive portion of the resist film with a developing solution. Subsequently, by dissolving and removing by etching a portion of the steel strip below the removed portion of the resist coating, a fine and uniform linear groove can be formed in a surface of the steel strip.

Disclosed is a magnetic domain refining method for radiating a laser beam to a surface of a directional electrical steel plate at intervals, which is capable of further reducing noise along with an iron loss reduction effect and further improving iron loss and noise reduction effects in an area where the directional electrical steel plate are bonded together, such as the joint part of the iron core of a transformer. Irradiated radiations formed by a laser beam in at least any one area of the directional electrical steel plate are unfolded in a fan rib form using one point of the directional electrical steel plate as a central point.

A grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, on which magnetic domain refining treatment by strain application has been performed, has an insulating coating with excellent insulation properties and corrosion resistance. The grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is obtained by irradiating a steel sheet with a high-energy beam to apply, to the steel sheet, linear strain extending in a direction that intersects a rolling direction of the steel sheet, and then re-forming an insulating coating on the steel sheet, in which in an irradiation mark region due to the high-energy beam, a ratio of an area containing defects on the insulating coating is 40% or less, a maximum width of the irradiation mark region in the rolling direction is 250 μm or less, and a thickness of the insulating coating is 0.3 μm or more and 2.0 μm or less.
