Bulk amorphous metals are evaluated as possible materials for soft magnetic components. There are two different preparation routes for such metals: direct casting into cold copper molds and hot pressing of appropriate powders which were successfully applied to iron-base amorphous alloys. The amorphous structure was checked by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the thermal stability was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the magnetic properties such as coercivity Hc, saturation polarization Js, Curie temperature Tc, and magnetostriction constant λs were determined.
