Thermocalc simulations identified compositions with good glass-forming ability (GFA) by locating minima in liquidus temperature, and solidification range in (Fe₇₀ Ni₃₀)_x(B-Si-Nb)_100-x alloys with x = 82% and x = 85%, increased compared to previously developed x = 80% alloys. 3 compositions in the x = 82% system and 1 in the x = 85% system were successfully cast as amorphous magnetic ribbon. Magnetic properties of as-cast alloys showed improvements in Curie temperature and saturation induction, especially for the 85% alloy. Crystallization behavior in the 85% alloy was determined to occur as a 2-step process. Annealing studies showed (Fe₇₀Ni₃₀)₈₂Nb₂Si₀B₁₆ and (Fe₇₀Ni₃₀)₈₂Nb₃Si₀B₁₅ alloys to exhibit low coercivity and high B_s with annealing. TEM results show significant crystallization in as-cast ribbon. The (Fe₇₀Ni₃₀)₈₅Nb_0.5Si₀B_14.5 alloy as-cast has small, uniformly distributed grains, allowing a useful nanocrystalline alloy to be produced as cast. Lastly, the parameter ΔT_xg, the temperature range in which the material can be thermomechanically processed, was in the range of 12–23 °C.
