    摘要: A method for manufacturing a nanocrystalline alloy ribbon piece with high productivity is provided. The method according to the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing an alloy ribbon piece obtained by crystallizing an amorphous alloy ribbon piece, and includes: preparing the amorphous alloy ribbon piece; sequentially heating the ribbon piece from one end to an intermediate position toward another end to a temperature range equal to or more than a crystallization starting temperature, and stopping the heating when heating the ribbon piece up to the intermediate position; and sequentially heating the ribbon piece from the other end to a position immediately before the intermediate position to the temperature range. In the sequentially heating the ribbon piece from the other end, the ribbon piece is heated up to the position immediately before the intermediate position after the heating is stopped in sequentially heating the ribbon piece from the one end.

    摘要: A method for reducing outgassing from a metal surface comprises applying energy from an energy source to the metal surface sufficient to melt the metal surface; and allowing the metal surface to re-solidify, wherein the re-solidified metal surface comprises larger grains and fewer grain boundaries, reducing outgassing sites for a trapped gas. Applying energy from an energy source is performed in a raster scan pattern. Adjacent passes in the raster scan pattern overlap sufficiently to melt the entire metal surface. The energy source is a laser, such as a CW Yb fiber laser. A spot size and applied energy of the laser energy source applied to the metal surface is sufficient to melt the entire metal surface (appropriate for the absorption and reflection characteristics of the treated material). The application of energy from an energy source releases at least some of a gas trapped in the metal. The trapped gas is atomic hydrogen. The metal surface comprises an electrode of a high power system device. The metal surface is in one of a high-vacuum environment and a vacuum electronic device. The metal surface comprises at least one of steel, stainless steel, nickel, and copper.

    摘要: Centering systems for centering blanks outputted from a furnace in a hot stamping line are provided, the centering system comprising a centering table and a heating system for heating one or more selected zones of the blank while arranged on the centering table. Also provided are methods for manufacturing steel components having hard zones and soft zones, wherein the soft zones are of less mechanical strength than the hard zones. The methods comprise heating a steel blank in a furnace, centering the heated blank on a centering table arranged downstream from the furnace, heating one or more selected zones of the heated blank while the blank is on the centering table, wherein the selected zones are the zones of the blank which are destined to form the hard zones; transferring the blank to a press tool to hot forming the blank, and quenching the selected zones of the blank destined to form the hard zones.
