A technique for processing thin tapes of soft magnetic amorphous metal alloys to reduce their magnetic hysteresis losses. The technique involves preliminarily forming such a tape into a core, heating the core, and then controllably cooling the core, the heating and cooling being conducted in an oxidizing atmosphere. Maintaining the core during processing in a suitable longitudinal or transverse (relative to the tape) magnetic field can also produce improved properties. Certain tape cores so processed have particular magnetic hysteresis loss characteristics never heretofore known. |
