Bulk samples were obtained from a powder of crushed amorphous alloy ribbon of standard Finemet composition by uniaxial cold compacting. The structure of the powder was determined using X-ray diffraction. The Curie and the crystallization temperatures of powder and bulk samples were determined from thermomagnetic curves measured with a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Uniaxial compacted ring cores were produced. The hysteresis loops of these bulk samples were measured with a.c, hysteresisgraph with a storage oscilloscope. We have found that the ring core prepared by 7 GPa uniaxial stress of powder exhibits a coercivity of 180 A/m after annealing at 540 degreesC.
