In recent years, the application range of available soft magnetic materials has been increased significantly due to the development of amorphous and nano-crystalized systems. Certain ferromagnetic alloys can be obtained as vitreous phases by rapid quenching technique (106 K/seg.); some of them partially crystallize by heat treatment, achieving structures composed by 10 to 40 nanometer long grains surrounded by a vitreous phase. The aim of the present paper is to present a simulation model for the production of amorphous ribbon obtained by melt spinning technique using own-design equipment. For this purpose, ITHINK Analyst software by High Performances System Inc. is used in the RuntimeTM version. Ribbons of amorphous structure between 2-25 mm wide, and 20-400 µm thick are obtained by set point of the process variables in this simulation.
