Amorphous ferromagnetic ribbons, with basic differences in production technique, in thermal stability and devetrification modality, were investigated to compare some of their magnetic, magnetoelastic and structural properties after repeated annealing cycles in vacuum. In particular, differences in structural relaxation, measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, were related to effects on magnetic permeability, magnetoelastic wave amplitude and crystallization occurrence.PACS 81.40 -Treatment of materials and its effects on microstructures and properties.
