(Fe_1–xGa_x)₉₂Zr₈ amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys with x = 0.15 to x = 0.36 were investigated to improve the magnetic softness of Galfenol-type alloys and to evaluate their magnetostrictive properties. The samples were prepared by melt spinning of arc melted ingots. The rapidly solidified ribbons were annealed at 823 K for 1 h to produce a nanocrystalline structure. X-ray Diffraction data showed that after annealing, body-centered cubic (BCC) Fe-Ga phase crystallized for x = 0.15 to x = 0.26. When x exceeded 0.26, the ribbons crystallized into BCC and a ternary intermetallic phase (i.e., ZrFe₆Ga₆) which has deteriorating effect on saturation magnetization, magnetic softness and magnetostriction coefficient. The annealed ribbons’ saturation magnetization value decreases from 126 Am²/kg to 54 Am²/kg as the Ga content increased from x = 0.15 to x = 0.36. The alloy with x = 0.26 annealed at 823 K for 1 h shows a peak magnetostriction of 10 ppm with saturation magnetization of 110 Am²/kg and coercivity of 260 A/m.
