I recall getting samples of amorphous steel 18 years ago. It was made by shooting molten steel and a spinning wheel that cooled it too fast to crystallize. It has low electrical conductivity, and thus reduced eddy current losses in high frequency high magnetic flux density applications like mag amps in switching power supplies. -- A society that teaches evolution as fact will breed a generation of atheists that will destroy the society. It is Darwinian. ----------------------------------------------------------- Learn about rec.guns at http://www.recguns.com -----------------------------------------------------------
