I. Introduction The effects of field a n n e a l m g on the magnetic charactenstlcs a n d magnetic losses of a m o r p h o u s r i b b o n s of high induction h a d been studied by several authors [1,2]. For instance, F u j i m o n [3] made a systematic study of oblique field a n n e a h n g on the core loss in Fe81(B, C, S119 a m o r p h o u s ribbons a n d gave an interpretation of the physical m e c h a m s m involved. We have also studied the effects of field a n n e a h n g on the magnetic characteristic a n d magnetic loss of a m o r p h o u s ribbons FevsSll0B~2 T h e saturation induction 4~'M~ was measured to be 15400 G. The a n n e a h n g temperature was chosen at 400°C. A magnetic field of 30 Oe was applied during the annealing m a direction at an angle 0 to the length of the ribbon, with 0 = 0 °, 45 °, 60 °, 90 °. The magnetic characteristics in dc a n d m ac fields with frequencies from 50 Hz to 10 kHz were measured. The m a g n e n c losses at different frequencies a n d different m a x i m u m reductions were also evaluated by the area of the B - H loops traced by a recording fluxmeter. The wave form of B flux was very close to a sine wave

2. Results and discussion Fig 1 shows the magnetic charactertstlcs of the sample in dc field after o b h q u e field annealing. It is seen that annealing in longitudinal field ( 0 = 0 °) is very efficient m reducing the coerclvlty H c and improving the residual induction (normalized) B r / B m. This may be due to the unlaxlcal amsotropy induced by the longitudinal field, thus increasing the n u m b e r of fine parallelstriped domains, a n d easing the m a g n e t l z a h o n process, so that the magnetization curve goes up very rapidly to saturation. After 0 >~ 50 °, H c begins to increase and B r / B m begins to decrease This IS clearly shown in fig. 2. The total loss W was supported to consist of three parts the hysteresis loss W h, the classical eddy current loss We calculated by the formula for infinite plane, and the a n a m a l o u s eddy current loss We, obtained by subtractlng W h a n d We from W Fig. 3 shows the variation of the total loss W w~th the direction 0 of annealing

In general, at a given frequency f a n d m a x i m u m induction B m, W~a decreases a n d W h increases with the annealing field direction 0, whde the We remains practically constant. Thus the o p t i m u m annealing conditions for lowest total loss are different for different f and different Bm.
