Abstract
Abstract Described herein is a method of processing an alloy of iron, cobalt, and at least one of vanadium, chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten to develop a novel product having an improved combination of magnetic properties and strength. The method involves continuously annealing the alloy so as to produce an average grain size of ASTM -12 or finer.
