Temperature dependence of AC-susceptibility and resistivity of AS-cast and annealed Fe73Al5Ga2P11C5B4 ribbon

Joule heating technique was used to anneal Fe73Al5Ga2P11C5B4 alloys. Magnetic properties as function of current density were characterised by hysteresis loops. Time and temperature dependence of the resistivity and temperature dependence of the susceptibility were measured in order to study the crystallisation behaviour. The results indicate a nearly linear dependence of the onset of the crystallisation of this sample on the heating rate.
