Wound magnetic core and method of producing the same
View Patent ↗The invention provides a wound magnetic core which is configured by winding an Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon, the wound magnetic core containing a recess row including plural recesses formed by laser irradiation in a central part of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon in a width direction, in which a ratio of a length of the central part to a total width is from 0.2 to 0.8.
1. A wound magnetic core which is configured by winding an Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon, the wound magnetic core comprising a recess row including a plurality of recesses formed by laser irradiation in a central part of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon excluding 5 mm each from both ends in a width direction, wherein the Fe-based amorphous alloy is a FeSiBC alloy with a composition containing Si of from 2 atom-% to 13 atom-%, B of from 8 atom-% to 16 atom-%, C of 3 atom-% or less, and the balance being substantially Fe and incidental impurities, a ratio of a length of the central part to a total width is from 0.2 to 0.8, a depth of each recess is in a range of from 2 μm to 4 μm, and a total width of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon is from 15 mm to 250 mm, and wherein an interval between the recess rows in a longitudinal direction of the alloy ribbon is from 2 mm to 20 mm, a thickness of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon is from 15 μm to 40 μm, and a formation interval of the recesses is in a range of from 4 pieces/mm to 8 pieces/mm in the width direction.
2. The wound magnetic core according to claim 1 , wherein a planar view shape of the recesses is a circular or elliptical shape.
3. A method of producing a wound magnetic core according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
forming recesses by irradiating a central part of an Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon excluding 5 mm each from both ends in a width direction with pulsed laser light to form recesses, wherein a ratio of a length of the central part to a total width is from 0.2 to 0.8, and a total width of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon is from 15 mm to 250 mm, and
winding the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon with the formed recesses to form a magnetic core.
4. The wound magnetic core according to claim 3 , wherein in the forming of the recesses the alloy ribbon is irradiated with pulsed laser light at intervals of from 2 mm to 20 mm in a longitudinal direction of the alloy ribbon to form the recesses.
5. The method of producing a wound magnetic core according to claim 3 or claim 4 , wherein a thickness of the Fe-based amorphous alloy ribbon is from 15 82 m to 40 μm.
