A method for manufacturing a thin strip component, including a processing step of processing an amorphous thin strip member into a dimension shape larger than a target shape, and a heat treating step of heat treating and contracting the amorphous thin strip member processed in the processing step to form the amorphous thin strip member into a thin strip component of the target shape. A thin strip component which is a magnetic laminate in which a plurality of plate-shaped thin strip component members of the same shape are laminated, and has a recess over an entire side surface of the magnetic laminate is used. A motor including the thin strip component, a plurality of coils disposed on the thin strip component, and a rotor disposed between the plurality of coils is used.

A device to cool a steel material having undergone hot rolling mills, the device including: a conveying mechanism which conveys the steel material while accelerating the steel material; a water cooling mechanism which cools the steel material while the conveying mechanism conveys the steel material; and a control unit which controls the conveying mechanism and the water cooling mechanism to cause the cooling of the steel material to satisfy Formula (1) below, wherein a water cooling time decrease rate in Formula (1) below is decided based on a length of a water cooling zone where the water cooling mechanism is provided and a time t.sub.c(0) required to cool a leading end portion of the steel material down to a target temperature,

t.sub.c(x)=t.sub.c(0).Math.xFormula (1),

where x: a conveyance-direction position in the steel material relative to the leading end portion of the steel material serving as a reference point, and t.sub.c(x): a time required to cool a portion at the position x of the steel material down to the target temperature.

Steel materials for continuously variable transmissions sheaves, and methods for manufacturing a continuously variable transmission sheaves, are provided. In the disclosed steel materials for continuously variable transmission sheaves, the steel materials satisfy the following expressions: 13.9Fn115.5, and 1.20Fn24.35 (in which Fn1=7Cr6Si+4Mn; and Fn2=AlN10.sup.4).

Embodiments of an ultra-fine-grained, medium carbon steel are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the ultra-fine grained steel can have high corrosion fatigue resistance, as well as high toughness and yield strength. The ultra-fine grained steels can be advantageous for use as sucker rods in oil wells having corrosive environments.

The present invention relates to a temperature-control unit for a furnace device for heat treating a plate, in particular a metal plate. The temperature-control unit has a temperature-control body, which is arrangeable in a furnace chamber of the furnace device. The temperature-control body has a plurality of receiving bores. Furthermore, the temperature-control unit has a plurality of temperature-control pins, wherein the temperature-control pins are mounted in the receiving bores movably relative to the temperature-control body. The temperature-control pins are controllable in such a way that a temperature-control group of the temperature-control pins is extendable from the temperature-control body in the direction towards the plate, so that a thermal contact between the temperature-control group of the temperature-control pins and a predetermined temperature-control zone of the plate is generatable.
