A process of fabricating a shield, a process of preparing a component, and an erosion shield are disclosed. The process of fabricating the shield includes forming a near-net shape shield. The near-net shape shield includes a nickel-based layer and an erosion-resistant alloy layer. The nickel-based layer is configured to facilitate secure attachment of the near-net shaped to a component. The process of preparing the component includes securing a near-net shape shield to a substrate of a component.

A laminated member as a laminate of a plurality of alloy ribbons is used. The laminated member has a side surface with a fracture surface. A laminated body as a laminate of the laminated member is used. A motor that includes a core using the laminated body is used. A method for manufacturing a laminated member is used that includes: fixing a plurality of amorphous ribbons to one another in a part of layers of the amorphous ribbons after laminating the amorphous ribbons; and punching a laminated member by cutting the laminate of the amorphous ribbons at a location that excludes the portion fixing the amorphous ribbons in the laminate.

A method for creating a welded steel part includes providing a first steel plate having a first base, a first intermetallic alloy layer on the first base and a first metal alloy layer on the first intermetallic alloy layer; providing a second steel plate having a second base, a second intermetallic alloy layer on the second base and a second metal alloy layer on the second intermetallic alloy layer; butt welding the first and second steel plates at a weld so as to melt material from at least the first base, the first intermetallic alloy layer, the second base and the second intermetallic layer to form a molten weld material; austenizing the welded steel plates at a temperature between Ac1 and Ac3+100 degrees C. for a time greater than or equal to 20 seconds; and cooling the welded steel plates so as to render a uniform microstructure to the weld.
