Specification

DESCRIPTION Fe-BASED AMORPHOUS ALLOY STRIP TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an Fe-based amorphous alloy strip used for iron cores of power transformers, high frequency transformers, etc. In particular, it relates to an Fe-based amorphous alloy strip provided with a high flux density and superior in heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, workability, and watt loss. Further, it relates to an amorphous metal alloy strip not using electrolytic iron or another high purity iron source as the iron source for the strip alloy, reducing the cost of the strip alloy, and having a soft magnetic property watt loss W13/50 of a stable O.lOW/kg or less. BACKGROUND ART As methods for quenching an alloy from a molten state so as to continuously produce strip or wire, the centrifugal quenching method, single roll method, twin roll method, etc. are known. These methods eject molten metal from an orifice etc. to the inner circumference or outer circumference of a metal drum rotating at a high speed so as to rapidly solidify the molten metal and produce strip or wire. Further, by suitably selecting the alloy composition, an amorphous alloy similar to liquid metal can be obtained and a material superior in magnetic properties or mechanical properties can be produced. This amorphous alloy strip is considered promising as an industrial material in numerous applications due to its superior characteristics. In particular, for applications for iron core materials for power transformers, high frequency transformers, etc., due to the low watt loss, high saturated flux density and permeance, and other reasons, Fe-based amorphous alloy strip, for example, Fe-B-Si-based strip, is employed. As the technical issues involved in use of amorphous alloy strip as the material for iron cores of power transformers, high frequency transformers, etc., there are the greater amount of material used when producing the transformers, for example, the iron core and copper wire, and the higher production costs compared with use of silicon steel plate. This is due to the fact that most amorphous alloy strips are small in saturated magnetizing force and therefore the design flux density of the transformer has to be lowered. As a result, the cross-sectional area of the iron core becomes larger. Therefore, various studies have been conducted on improving the flux density of amorphous alloy strip. For example, Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 03-264654 proposes an amorphous alloy strip comprised of a composition of Fe80B20 wherein a saturated flux density of 1.57 to 1.61T (Tesla) is obtained and Si and P are added to improve the embrittlement temperature and ductility. Further, in Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 03-500668, a high flux density was confirmed due to the addition of Co in an Fe-B-Si-C-based amorphous alloy strip, but Co is an expensive element, so there are cost difficulties. Therefore, as a system of ingredients able to realize high flux density without use of Co, Hatta et al.: JEEEE Trans. Magnetics MAG-14 (1978) 1013 introduces an Fe-B-C-based amorphous alloy strip. It is reported that with this system of ingredients, a 1.78T saturated flux density is achieved, but there are the problems that the watt loss is poor compared with an Fe-B-Si-C-based amorphous alloy strip and that the heat stability, as represented by the stability of the magnetic characteristics at the time of annealing and the time of transformer operation, is low in level. Further, Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 09-95760 proposes that the allowable amounts of the contents of S, Mn, and other impurity elements be increased by the addition of a slight amount of P: 0.008 to 0.1 wt%, but the effect on the heat stability and workability (brittleness) accompanying the addition of P is not evaluated. Further, Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 62-74050 proposes adding N to an amorphous alloy strip containing Cr so as to raise the hardness of the strip and improve the maximum permeance and watt loss, but the problems of heat stability and workability are still not solved. Further, when producing Fe-B-Si-based amorphous strip, it had been thought that impurities degraded the watt loss etc., so in the past alloy materials with impurities kept extremely low had been used. That is, as the iron source, electrolytic iron had been used. As the specifically suppressed impurities, for example, there are P and S. Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 59-16947 limited P to 0.015 wt% or less and S to 0.02 wt% or less. This publication describes P as an element degrading the watt loss and further S as an element promoting brittleness. The composition is prescribed as Fe: 86 to 95 wt%, B: 2 to 4 wt%, Si: 0 to 11 wt%, and C: 0 to 1.5 wt%. If converting these to atm%, wide ranges of Fe: 65.9 to 85.4 atm%, B: 8.3 to 17.6 atm%, Si: 0 to 18.3 atm%, and C: 0 to 6.1 atm% are taken. Further, Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 57-137451 shows the maximum allowable amounts of various impurity elements in FeSiB-based amorphous strip. For example, it prescribes P: 0.008 atm% or less, Mn: 0.12 atm% or less, and S: 0.02 atm% or less. This publication prescribes Fe: over 78.5 atm% to less than 80 atm%, B: 13 atm% to 16 atm%, and Si: 5 atm% to 10 atm%, so if converting the maximum allowable amounts of the impurity elements into wt%, they become P: 0.0053 wt% or less, Mn: 0.14 wt% or less, and S: 0.0136 wt% or less. This publication as well considers the impurity elements to be elements degrading the characteristics. The allowable amounts of the impurities in the case of producing amorphous alloy strip are considerably small as shown in these Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 59-16947 and Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 57-137451, so it had been thought difficult to use the steels produced by usual steelmaking processes from iron ore for the iron source of amorphous alloy strip. The reason is that these iron sources include more than the allowable amounts of impurities. That is, in the past, the allowable amounts of the impurity elements were considerably low, so electrolytic iron and other high purity iron sources had to be used. High purity iron sources are expensive, so the strip alloy cost became high. This became a factor raising the cost of production of strip. To promote the broader use of strip as an industrial material, the production cost has to be reduced. For this purpose, it has been strongly desired to reduce the strip alloy costs. Further, in the past, the characteristics varied in the same lot. This became a factor lowering the yield and raising the production costs. Therefore, the applicant previously proposed in Japanese Patent Publication (A) No. 09-202946 an alloy strip exhibiting excellent characteristics without using electrolytic iron or another high purity iron source as the material for the strip alloy, that is, even if using an inexpensive iron source. That is, they proposed an Fe-based amorphous alloy strip consisting of strip comprised of main elements of Fe, B, Si, and C and impurities characterized in that the composition of the main elements is expressed by FeaBbSicCd, where a_, b, c, and d are, by atm%, 80 A single roll amorphous alloy strip production system comprised of a copper alloy cooling roll of a diameter of 580 mm (roll speed 800 rpm), a high frequency induction melting apparatus for melting the samples, a quartz glass crucible, a slit nozzle of a length of 25 mm and a width of 0.6 mm provided at the front end of the crucible was used with the ingredients shown in Table 1 comprised of the Fe-B-Si-based composition into which N and C and P were added so as to produce an amorphous alloy strip of a width of 25 mm and a thickness of 28 to 35 urn. Note that as the Fe source, converter steel with only small impurities was used. B was added as Fe-B, Si was added as Fe-Si, C was added as pure C, P was added as Fe-P, and N was added by mixing iron nitride in the nitrogen gas stream. Table 1 shows the compositions of ingredients and the obtained characteristics. Note that the characteristics of the obtained amorphous alloy strip were measured by the methods explained below. 1) For the magnetic characteristics, the obtained strip was annealed at 360°C for 1 hour in a nitrogen atmosphere and a magnetic field and measured by a single sheet tester (SST). The watt loss at a flux density of 1.3T and frequency of 50Hz and the flux density (Be) at a magnetic field of 800A/m were used for evaluation. 2) For the heat stability, the Curie temperature was as an evaluation indicator for evaluation (the larger the Curie temperature, the stabler thermally) by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). 3) For the amorphous phase forming ability, the crystallization temperature (Tp) and the melting point (Tm) were measured by a differential scan calorimeter (DSC) as evaluation indicators and indicated as Tp/Tm (the larger the Tp/Tm, the better the amorphous phase forming ability). 4) For evaluation of the brittleness, the amorphous strip after annealing at 360°C for 1 hour in a nitrogen atmosphere was bent with the roll cooled surface of the strip at the outside and the bending fracture diameter at the time of fracture was measured (the larger the bending fracture diameter, the worse the brittleness) . When using the amorphous strip for the iron cores of power transformers, high frequency transformers, etc., since amorphous strip is extremely thin, it is usually used as a wound iron core. Therefore, when producing iron core, the brittleness in particular becomes an important characteristic. The inventors investigated this and as a result found that the bending fracture diameter used as an indicator for evaluation of brittleness has to be 4 mm or less. Further, from the annealing temperature or other production conditions, design conditions, etc., it was learned that Tp/Tm has to be 0.5 or more and the Curie temperature has to be 350°C or more. On the other hand, the watt loss and flux density are selected in accordance with need since they relate to the design of the iron core. (In general, a low watt loss and high flux density are demanded, but they may be selected in accordance with the equipment covered, for example, by a design where a high flux density is given priority even if the watt loss is somewhat high, a design where the low watt loss is important and the flux density is not stressed that much). Table 1 (Table Removed) Table 1 shows the composition of ingredients of the invention examples and comparative examples for giving a low watt loss and high flux density and the results of their evaluation of the same relating to the aspects of the invention of claims 1 and 2 of the present invention. In Table 1, Comparative Example 1 is an Fe-B-Si-based amorphous strip not containing any of N, C, or P and is the base composition of ingredients. The magnetic characteristics, heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, and brittleness of amorphous strips obtained by including N, C, and P were evaluated compared with Comparative Example 1. Invention Example 1 corresponds to Comparative Example 1 but includes N in an amount of 0.004% and is improved in the heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, and brittleness. Invention Example 2 includes C in an amount of 0.93% and includes N in an amount of 0.004%, so is improved in flux density as well. On the other hand, Invention Example 3 includes P in an amount of 0.1% and includes N in an amount of 0.004%, so becomes good in watt loss. Invention Example 4 includes C in an amount of 0.93%, P in 0.1%, and N in 0.004% and is improved in all of the heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, brittleness, flux density, and watt loss. In Invention Example 5, C and N are the same as in Invention Example 4, but P is included in an amount of 0.2. Due to the reduction in the Fe, the flux density slightly fell, but the watt loss value was greatly improved. Further, the amorphous phase forming ability and brittleness were also improved. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 2, P is contained in an excess 0.25%, so the flux density fell and the brittleness worsened. Invention Examples 6 to 8 include C in an amount of 0.93% and P in 0.1% and are changed in content of N, but are not greatly changed in flux density and watt loss and are improved in heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, and brittleness along with the increase in the content of the amount of N. Comparative Example 3 contains N in an excess 0.25%. The cost of addition of N swells, but the heat stability and amorphous phase forming ability are already saturated. Further, due to the increase of N, the flux density falls. From the above, it is learned that the heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, workability (brittleness), and watt loss are improved. The same method as in Example 1 and the ingredients shown in Table 2 were used to produce amorphous alloy strips comprised of Fe-B-Si-C-P-N-based amorphous alloy strips of widths of 25 mm and thicknesses of 28 to 35 µm. Table 2 shows the compositions of ingredients and the obtained characteristics. Note that the measurement methods and evaluation methods were the same as in Example 1. Table 2 (Table Removed) Table 2 shows the compositions of ingredients of the invention examples and comparative examples low in watt loss, good in workability, and giving a medium degree of flux density and the results of their evaluation relating to the aspect of the invention of claim 3 of the present invention. In Table 2, Comparative Example 4 does not contain either P and N and is the base composition of ingredients. The magnetic characteristics, heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, and brittleness of amorphous strips obtained by including P and N compared with Comparative Example 4 were evaluated. In the Invention Example 9, P is contained in an amount of 0.005% and N in 0.004% and an improvement in the watt loss, brittleness, and heat stability was seen. Invention Examples 10 and 11 contained P: 0.1%, P: 0.2%, and N: 0.004% and were reduced in Fe, but the flux density dropped slightly, so the watt loss value was greatly improved. Further, the amorphous phase forming ability and brittleness were also improved. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 5, P is added in an excessive 0.25%, so the flux density dropped and the strip became brittle. Invention Examples 12 to 14 exhibited low watt loss due to the addition of P: 0.1% and were improved in amorphous phase forming ability as well, but along with the increase in content of N, the heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, and brittleness were improved. Comparative Example 6 contains N in an excess 0.25%, so the cost of addition of N swelled, the heat stability and amorphous phase forming ability already became saturated, and the flux density dropped due to the increase in N. From the above, it was learned that in the compositions of ingredients of Table 2 as well, the heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, workability (brittleness), and watt loss were improved. The same method as in Example 1 and the ingredients shown in Table 3 were used to produce Fe-B-Si-C- P-N-based amorphous alloy strips of widths of 25 nun and thicknesses of 28 to 35 µm. Table 3 shows the compositions of ingredients and the obtained characteristics. Note that the measurement methods and evaluation methods were the same as in Example 1. Table 3 (Table Removed) Table 3 shows the compositions of ingredients of the invention examples and comparative examples giving a high flux density relating to the aspect of the invention of claim 4 of the present invention. In Table 3, Comparative Example 7 does not contain either P and N and is the base composition of ingredients. The magnetic characteristics, heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, and brittleness of amorphous strips obtained by including P and N compared with Comparative Example 7 were evaluated. In the Invention Example 15, P is contained in an amount of 0.005% and N in 0.004% and an improvement in the watt loss, brittleness, and heat stability was seen. Invention Examples 16 and 17 contained P: 0.1%, P: 0.2%, and N: 0.004% and were reduced in Fe, but the flux density dropped slightly, so the watt loss value was greatly improved. Further, the amorphous phase forming ability and brittleness were also improved. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 8, P is added in an excessive 0.25%, so the flux density dropped and the strip became brittle. Invention Examples 18 to 20 exhibited low watt loss due to the addition of P: 0.1% and were improved in amorphous phase forming ability as well, but along with the increase in content of N, the heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, and brittleness were improved. Comparative Example 9 contains N in an excessive 0.25%, so the cost of addition of N swelled, the heat stability and amorphous phase forming ability already became saturated, and the flux density dropped due to the increase in N. From the above, it was learned that in the compositions of ingredients of Table 3 as well, the heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, workability (brittleness), and watt loss were improved. The same method as in Example 1 and the ingredients shown in Table 4 were used to produce amorphous alloy strips comprised of Fe-B-Si-C-P-N-based amorphous alloy strips of widths of 25 mm and thicknesses of 28 to 35 µm in which the Fe was substituted by Co, Ni, and Cr. Table 4 shows the compositions of the ingredients and the obtained characteristics. Note that the measurement methods and evaluation methods were the same as Example Table 4 (Table Removed) Table 4 shows the compositions of ingredients of the invention examples and comparative examples designed for improving the flux density and corrosion resistance relating to the aspect of the invention of claim 5 of the present invention. In Table 4, Invention Examples 21 to 24 substitute Fe with Co to improve the flux density, while Invention Example 25 substitutes it with Ni. Further, Invention Example 21 is a composition not containing C and P, Invention Example 22 not containing C, and Invention Example 23 not containing P. Invention Example 26 substitutes Fe with Cr for the purpose of improving the corrosion resistance. Invention Example 27 substitutes Fe with Co, Ni, and Cr for the purpose of improvement of both of the flux density and corrosion resistance. Note that Ni and Cr unavoidably enter in fine amounts from the Fe source and Fe-B and other added alloys (for example, Table 4, Invention Example 21, Ni: 0.03% and Cr: 0.05%). Comparative Examples 10 and 11 are examples corresponding to Invention Examples 21 and 22 but not containing N, while Comparative Example 12 is an example corresponding to Invention Example 23 but not containing N and Comparative Example 24 but not containing N and P. Further, Comparative Examples 12 to 14 are examples corresponding to Invention Examples 24 to 27 but not containing N and P. In the invention examples, it will be understood that in each case the bending fracture diameter decreased by about 40% and became 4 mm or less due to the effect of inclusion of N and that the brittleness was improved. Further, the watt loss also became good due to the effect of P. The brittleness due to the addition of P was also improved due to the effect of inclusion of N. From the above, it is learned that even when substituting Fe by Co, Ni, and Cr, the strip characteristics are improved by the effect of inclusion of P and N. Fe-(Co, Ni)B-Si-(C) alloys containing P in 0.018 mass%, Mn in 0.21 mass%, and S in 0.006 mass% were melted in an argon atmosphere and cast by the single roll method into a strip. The casting atmosphere was made the air. At this time, as shown in Table 5, the inventors changed the ratios of contents of Fe, Co, Ni, B, Si, and C to investigate the relationship between the ratios of contents of these elements and the strip characteristics. The ratios of Fe, Co, Ni, B, Si, and C are shown as Fe+Co+Ni+B+Si+C=100 atm%. The single roll strip production system used was the same as Example 1, but in this experiment, a slot nozzle of a length of 25 mm and a width of 0.4 mm was used. As a result, the plate thicknesses of the obtained strips were about 25 |im, while the plate widths, which are dependent on the length of the slot nozzle, were 25 mm. The watt losses of the strips were measured using a SST (single sheet tester). The measurement conditions were a flux density of 1.3T and a frequency of 50 kHz. For the measurement samples of watt loss, strip samples cut over the overall length of one lot from 12 locations in 120 mm lengths were used. These strip samples were annealed at 360°C for 1 hour in a magnetic field and used for measurement. The atmosphere during the annealing was made nitrogen. As the results of measurement of the watt losses, the values of the maximum value (Wmax) and minimum value (Wmin) in one lot and the deviation ((Wmax-Wmin)/Wmin) are shown in Table 5. As clear from the results of Sample Nos. 1 to 32 of Table 5, it was learned that in the range of the present invention where Fe is over 80% to 82%, at least one of Co and Ni is 0.01% to 1%, B is 12% to 16%, Si is 2% to 7%, and C is 2% or less, by including P, Mn, and S in the range of the present invention, a strip is obtained having a watt loss at a flux density of 1.3T and a frequency of 50Hz of less than O.lW/kg, having an error ((Wmax-Wmin)/Wmin) of less than 0.1, and superior in soft magnetic properties across the overall length of the strip is obtained. As opposed to this, in the range of ingredients of the comparative examples shown in Sample Nos. 33 to 48, there are portions where the watt loss becomes larger than O.llW/kg and the error ((Wmax-Wmin)/Wmin) ends up becoming 0.1 or more. Further, in Sample Nos. 36 to 38, the alloy costs became higher, while in Sample Nos. 42 and 43, the embrittlement of the strips became greater. From the above, it was learned that according to the present invention, further improvement of the soft magnetic properties can be realized. Table 5 (Table Removed) Alloys comprised of the main constituent elements Fe, Co, Ni, B, Si, and C in compositions giving, by atm%, Fe80.3Co0.12Nio.14B13.5Si5.2Co.74, and containing P, Mn, and S in various ratios were cast into strips by apparatuses and conditions similar to Example 5. As a result, the plate thicknesses of the obtained strips were about 25 (jm. The watt losses of the obtained strips were evaluated. The method of obtaining the measurement samples and the measurement conditions for evaluation of the watt losses were the same as in Example 5. The results of measurement are shown in Table 6. Note that the manner of expression of the items shown in Table 6 is similar to the case of Table 5. As clear from the results of Sample Nos. 1 to 17 of Table 6, it was learned that when in the range of the present invention where P is 0.008 mass% to 0.1 mass%, Mn is 0.15 mass% to 0.5 mass%, and S is 0.004 mass% to 0.05 mass%, a strip having a watt loss at a flux density of 1.3T and a frequency of 50Hz of 0.1 W/kg or less, having an error ((Wmax-Wmin)/Wmin) of 0.1 or less, and superior in soft magnetic properties across the overall length of the strip can be obtained. As opposed to this, as shown by Sample Nos. 18 to 28, when at least one element of P, Mn, and S is outside of the range of the present invention, there are portions where the watt loss is larger than 0.11 W/kg. The error ((Wmax-Wmin)/Wmin) also becomes 0.1 or more. Further, in Sample No. 18, the alloy cost ends up becoming higher. From the above, it was learned that according to the present invention, a lower grade iron source than in the past can be used. Table 6 (Table Removed) 1) In No. 18, the alloy cost ends up becoming higher. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The alloy strip of the present invention is improved in heat stability, amorphous phase forming ability, workability (brittleness), and watt loss due to the effect of addition of N. Further, it can be widely used as a soft magnetic material for the iron cores of power transformers and high frequency transformers and further the iron cores of magnetic shield materials etc. We claims CLAIMS 1.
