-3. They are lower than those of the early developed nanocrystalline Fe-Cu-Nb-Si-B alloys and significantly lower than those of the superior power Mn-Zn ferrite H
7c4. The dependences of core loss on frequency and amplitude flux density have been analysed. The practical applications of the new alloy to several aspects are also reported.
