Magnetostriction hysteresis loops of Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si15.5B7 metallic gla
ss strips annealed in vacuum for 1 h at temperatures ranging from 300
to 650 degrees C were determined using a strain-gauge method. The magn
etostriction at H-m = 2.8-3.0 kA/m decreased from 25 x 10(-6) after an
nealing at 300 degrees C to 21 x 10(-6) after annealing at 560 degrees
C, to about 2 x 10(-6) after annealing at 600 degrees C, and increase
d to approximately 6 x 10(-6) after annealing at 650 degrees C. The re
manent magnetostriction after annealing from 300 to 560 degrees C incr
eased from 1.35 x 10(-6) to 5.01 x 10(-6).
