Abstract: Structure as well as magnetic and magnetoelastic properties of nanocrystalline (Fe,Co)-(Hf,Zr)-Cu-B alloys (HITPERM-type) were investigated in order to find out which factors are responsible for the magnetic hardening of these magnetically soft materials. Magnetoelastic anisotropy, caused by the presence of cobalt, was found to play the predominant role in the observed increase of coercive field. On this basis, guidelines on chemical composition and crystallisation process selection were suggested for two fields of application: soft magnetic cores and sensors or actuators cores.
