[en] Hysteresis loop, Initial permeability and Curie Temperature measurements were conducted on several pure and polluted (with Si and Mo) Fe Ni 50-50% at. alloys. Isochronal annealings were performed between 25 deg 65 deg C, on each composition in three different ways: quenched (anisotropic) samples; quenched and irradiated samples; quenched irradiated samples annealed with saturating magnetic field. The experiment showed a sharp decrease in all parameters of the polluted alloys. Fast neutron irradiation results indicated that the magnetic properties are affected by the defects created during irradiation. The effect of thermal treatment, magnetic annealing and irradiation is greatest in anisotropic alloys. It is considered that magnetic annealing introduces a uniaxial anisotropy that tends to increase the remanence and hence the squareness of the hysteresis loop; but an increase in both remanence and coercivity was measured even in absence of the magnetic field. Magnetic after effect has been detected and a simple model for the diffusion of defects is presented. Many models have been proposed to explain the resultant properties, the most feasible being that based upon short-range ordering, proposed by Neel and Taniguchi, together with the interesting hypothesis of Heidenreich and Nesbitt.
