An apparatus and method for casting metal strip include a moving chill body that has a quench surface. A nozzle mechanism deposits a stream of molten metal on a quenching region of the quench surface to form the strip. The nozzle mechanism has an exit portion with a nozzle orifice. A depletion mechanism supplies a reducing gas to a depletion region located adjacent to and upstream from the quenching region. The reducing gas reacts exothermically to lower the density provide a low density reducing atmosphere within the depletion and substantially prevent formation of gas pockets in the strip.

Casting in a exothermic reduction atmosphere

An iron based, boron containing magnetic alloy having at least 85 percent of its structure in the form of an amorphous metal matrix is annealed in the absence of a magnetic field at a temperature and for a time sufficient to induce precipitation therein of discrete particles of its constituents. The resulting alloy has decreased high frequency core losses and increased low field permeability; is particularly suited for high frequency applications.

Amorphous alloys for electromagnetic devices

Metal alloy filaments having improved surface characteristics and enhanced mechanical properties are extracted from a source of molten metal alloy using a quenching wheel in a partial vacuum.

Production of improved metal alloy filaments

An improvement in resistance to embrittlement upon heat treatment of amorphous metal alloys containing iron, nickel, cobalt and/or chromium in the temperature range of about 200.degree. to 350.degree. C is achieved by including boron or boron plus at least one metalloid element of carbon, silicon and aluminum in a total amount of about 15 to 25 atom percent of the alloy composition.
