In the amorphous materials have a preliminary understanding of the amorphous material, we look at the amorphous strip of a very promising application areas - amorphous transformer. Amorphous alloy core transformer is a new type of magnetically conductive material - amorphous alloy made of iron core and become a transformer, it is more than silicon steel sheet for the core transformer no-load loss (refers to the transformer secondary open-circuit, measured in the primary power loss) down 75% or so, the no-load current (transformer secondary open-circuit, the primary there is still a certain current, this part of the current is called no-load current) down about 80%, no-load current (transformer secondary open-circuit, the primary still have certain current, this part of the current is called no-load current) down about 80%. No-load current (when the secondary transformer is open, there is still a certain current in the primary transformer, which is called no-load current) drops by about 80%, and it is a distribution transformer with more ideal energy-saving effect, especially suitable for rural power grids and developing areas where the load rate is low. China's listed company - confidence electric from the United States general electric company introduced amorphous alloy transformer proprietary technology, through digestion and absorption, independent innovation and development of amorphous alloy transformer series products suitable for the operation of China's power grid, has become the largest amorphous alloy transformer specialized production enterprises, which proves that the Amorphous material broad market space.

In the next few years, China's amorphous transformer and amorphous alloy strip annual demand is very huge, many related enterprises will benefit.

In the amorphous alloy transformer industry in the most critical link is undoubtedly amorphous strip production technology, amorphous alloy history when the United States in 1960, Professor Duwez invented the fast quenching process for the preparation of amorphous alloy as a start. In the meantime, the development of amorphous soft magnetic alloy has gone through two stages: the first stage began in 1967, until 1988. 1984, four U.S. transformer manufacturers in the IEEE conference to show the practical amorphous distribution transformer is marked by the first stage of the culmination of the United States in 1989, the United States AlliedSignal has an annual output of 60,000 tons of amorphous strips of the Production capacity, the world about 1 million amorphous distribution transformers into operation, the use of iron-based amorphous strip almost all from the company. From 1988, the development of amorphous materials into the second stage. This stage has a landmark event is the invention of iron-based nanocrystalline alloys. 1988 Japan Hitachi Metals Yashizawa and others in the amorphous alloy based on the crystallization of the development of nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloys (Finemet). 1988 the year, Hitachi Metals nanocrystalline alloys to achieve industrialization, and there are products to the market. 1992 Germany VAC company Started to introduce nanocrystalline alloys to replace cobalt-based amorphous alloys, especially in the network interface devices, such as ISDN, a large number of nanocrystalline cores to produce interface transformers and digital filtering devices.
