Effect of Annealing in Multicomponent bcc Alloys

Multicomponent single phase alloys were synthesized according to the idea of iron-average atom system. X-ray diffraction shows formation of bcc phase and traces of unidentified phase. Moessbauer spectra indicate presence of two components with different hyperfine magnetic field distributions. The high field component corresponds to the majority ferromagnetic phase. Few per cent of iron builds low field component. The dominant effect of annealing consists in an increase of the low field component. (authors)
