Nanocrystalline magnetic materials are of great interest in order to meet the needs of electronics and electrical engineering. There are many possibilities to modify the synthesis parameters and chemical composition in order to obtain the most desirable magnetic properties and microstructure. The paper discusses an iron-based alloy with the addition of boron lanthanum and aluminium. The alloy was obtained by induction melting and casting with a melt-spinner. The main purpose of the work was to analyze the structure and properties of both the starting alloys in the form of ingots and the obtained tapes. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibration magnetometry (VSM) and microhardness measurements using the Vickers method were carried out.
