Abstract

The present invention provides a low iron-loss Fe-based amorphous alloy thin strip having an ultrathin oxide layer with a controlled thickness and/or a segregated layer containing either or both P and S at the lower section of an ultrathin oxide layer, as well as an Fe-based amorphous alloy thin strip fabricated with an ultrathin oxide layer with a controlled structure on the thin strip surface, wherein the ultrathin oxide layer is formed with a two-layer structure on the thin strip surface to reduce iron loss. Specifically, there is provided an Fe-based amorphous alloy thin strip characterized by being a quenched metal thin strip obtained by ejecting a molten metal onto a moving substrate through a casting nozzle with a slot-shaped opening and quenching it to solidity, and by having ultrathin oxide layer with a thickness of from 5 nm to 20 nm on at least one surface of the thin strip. There is further provided an Fe-based amorphous alloy thin strip characterized by being a quenched metal thin strip obtained by ejecting a molten metal onto a moving substrate through a casting nozzle with a slot-shaped opening and quenching it to solidity, by having an ultrathin oxide layer on at le…
