Abstract
Amorphous metal ribbon and thin conventional magnetic material is fully cut through by an electron beam and has no or minimal bead on the edge. The ribbon is bent around a roller while under the electron beam and centrifugal force removes molten metal from the cut. An alternative method is to partially cut through and mechanically deform the material to break the thinned section metal bridges remaining below the cut. Motor laminations so cut have negligible increase in thickness and stack compactly.
