The paramagnetic disordered high temperature states of L1[sub 2] or [gamma][prime]-type Ni[sub 3]Al-Fe alloys become ferromagnetic at low temperatures if retained in metastable disordered ([gamma]) state. Using mechanical attrition (milling) which also transforms the material into nanocrystalline form, various Ni[sub 3]Al-Fe alloys have been prepared in metastable-[gamma] form and their magnetizations M([gamma]) and M([gamma][prime]) and Curie temperatures [Tc] ([gamma]) and [Tc]([gamma][prime]) measured. Fe atoms possess a giant magnetic moment in these alloys and polarize neighboring Ni atoms but this polarization effect is lower in the disordered state due to a lower number of Fe-Ni nearest neighbors resulting in M([gamma])
