The effect of tensile stresses on the magnetic properties of Co58Fe5Ni10Si11B16 amorphous alloys

For the amorphous alloy of nominal composition Co53Fe5Ni10Si11B16 magnetic properties such as the anisotropy energy, the initial susceptibility, the coercive field, and the remanent magnetization are investigated at room temperatue as functins of an applied tensile stress. From an analysis of the magnetization process in the presence of applied and internal stresses the mean value of the compressive internal stresses and the saturation magnetostriction constant are determined.
