This work reports the effect of micro strain of soft magnetic materials obtained by low-energy ball milling. It has been observed that the low energy of the ball milling changes the magnetic domain size, increasing magnetisation, remanence and magnetic permeability of the milled powders as ferromagnetic particles. It is due to the increase of linear defects and the increase of lattice strain. The magnetisation M S increases up to 70% by the accumulation of crystalline defects, although M S decreases with the reduction of particle size, due to the connections of voids between the lines of magnetisation across the crystalline defects obtained by milling. This response is produced by the cold working through the ball milling.
