Mössbauer spectroscopic studies have been carried out at different temperatures across ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition in Ni{sub 50}Fe{sub 35}Co{sub 15} and the evolution of hyperfine parameters such as centre shift and magnetic hyperfine fields with temperature has been studied. Mössbauer spectrum obtained at 300 K in Ni{sub 50}Fe{sub 35}Co{sub 15} exhibiting fcc crystal structure is a six line pattern with the mean value of the hyperfine field close to 33 Tesla. Ferromagnetic to paramagnetic transition has been observed to occur in this system around 895 K matching with that of magnetization results. Debye temperature of this nickel rich alloy is deduced to be around 470 K matching with that of Ni. Effect of prolonged annealing at 750 K on the magnetic property is also investigated with respect to the thermal stability of the alloy.
