Amorphous alloy ribbon and method of producing the same
The invention provides a method of producing an amorphous alloy ribbon, the method including a step of producing an amorphous alloy ribbon by discharging a molten alloy through a rectangular opening of a molten metal nozzle having a molten metal flow channel along which the molten alloy flows, the opening being an end of the molten metal flow channel, onto a surface of a rotating chill roll, in which, among wall surfaces of the molten metal flow channel, a maximum height Rz(t) of a surface t, which is a wall surface parallel to a flow direction of the molten alloy and to a short side direction of the opening, is 10.5 μm or less.
1. An amorphous alloy ribbon, in which a number of feathers protruding generally along a longitudinal direction of the ribbon and having a length of 1 mm or longer measured along the longitudinal direction at width-direction ends of the ribbon is 1 or less per 1 m of length of the ribbon in the longitudinal direction,
wherein the ribbon has a thickness of from 10 μm to 40 μm and a width of from 100 mm to 300 mm.
2. The amorphous alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , which is produced by a single-roll method.
