Partial crystallization of the metallic glass Co{sub 66}Si{sub 16}B{sub 12}Fe{sub 4}Mo{sub 2} was performed by annealing at temperatures between 500 and 540 deg. C for 10-20 min, resulting in crystallite volume fractions of (0.7-5)x10{sup -3} and sizes of 50-100 nm. This two-phase alloy presents a remarkable feature: a hysteresis loop shift that can be tailored by simply premagnetizing the sample in the adequate magnetic field. Shifts as large as five times the coercive field have been obtained which make them interesting for application as magnetic cores in dc pulse transformers. The asymetrical magnetic reversal is explained in terms of the magnetic dipolar field interaction and the observed hysteresis loops have been satisfactorily simulated by a modification of Stoner-Wohlfarth's model of coherent rotations.
