Abstract

A soft magnetic alloy ribbon is made of a Fe-based soft magnetic alloy and includes a first laser peening trace row and a second laser peening trace row each of which includes a plurality of laser peening traces in a row in a first direction and which are arranged adjacent to each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a domain wall extending in a third direction, in which D0<D1 where a straight line at an equal separation distance from the first laser peening trace row and the second laser peening trace row is defined as a central line, a straight line which has a first distance where a distance from the first laser peening trace row is shorter than the separation distance is defined as a first reference line, a width of the domain wall at a position intersecting the central line is defined as D0, and a width of the domain wall at a position intersecting the first reference line is defined as D1.

Claims (27)

1 . A soft magnetic alloy ribbon made of a Fe-based soft magnetic alloy, the soft magnetic alloy ribbon comprising:

a first laser peening trace row and a second laser peening trace row each of which includes a plurality of laser peening traces in a row in a first direction and which are arranged adjacent to each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction; and

a domain wall extending in a third direction intersecting the first direction, wherein

D0<D1

where a straight line at an equal separation distance from the first laser peening trace row and the second laser peening trace row is defined as a central line,

a straight line which is located on a central line side of the first laser peening trace row and has a first distance where a distance from the first laser peening trace row is shorter than the separation distance is defined as a first reference line,

a width of the domain wall at a position intersecting the central line is defined as D0,

a width of the domain wall at a position intersecting the first reference line is defined as D1,

a width of the soft magnetic alloy ribbon is 5 mm or more and 500 mm or less,

a thickness of the soft magnetic alloy ribbon is 1 μm or more and 40 μm or less,

the Fe-based soft magnetic alloy is an Fe—SI—B alloy or an Fe—Si—B—C alloy,

the Fe-based soft magnetic alloy contains at least one of an amorphous structure and a nanocrystalline structure in a total of 50 volume % or more,

2 . The soft magnetic alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , wherein

D0<D2

where a straight line which is located on the central line side of the second laser peening trace row and has a second distance where a distance from the second laser peening trace row is shorter than the separation distance is defined as a second reference line, and

a width of the domain wall at a position intersecting the second reference line is defined as D2.

3 . The soft magnetic alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , wherein

the second direction and the third direction are parallel to each other.

4 . The soft magnetic alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , wherein

a spacing between the first laser peening trace row and the second laser peening trace row is 1 mm or more and 40 mm or less.

5 . The soft magnetic alloy ribbon according to claim 1 , wherein
