Abstract
Structural relaxation and the beginning of crystallization of amorphous iron-based alloys were studied by Curie temperature (Tc) measurements. Apparent values of activation energy of relaxation were evaluated from the Tc time-temperature dependencies. It was observed that the average value of activation energy increases with the relaxation process. It was shown that the measurements of Tc evolution allow distinguishing the relaxation and crystallization process, which could have a practical benefit of determination of the optimal thermal treatment to achieve the best soft magnetic properties. Tc measurements may help to detect the initial stage of amorphous phase crystallization. Tc data correlate with structural alterations which are accompanied by the redistribution of elements in amorphous phase during annealing.
