In this paper we Propose a new, inexpensive an fast method for determi
ning the magnetoelastic uniformity Of amorphous magnetostrictive ribbo
ns and wires. Such a method is based on the response of a magnetostric
tive delay line (MDL) when pulsed magnetic field excites acoustically
the whole line. Results are given showing an improvement of the unifor
mity, after stress current annealing.
