Melt spun ribbon of Fe73Ga27 was prepared and characterized for microstructural features and magnetostriction. The phase equilibria observed from structural investigations have been correlated with Mossbauer studies. The magnetostriction of the melt spun ribbon has been found to be significantly large compared to the bulk sample. The large magnetostriction is attributed to the absence of ordered fcc (L12) phase in the melt spun ribbon, which is otherwise seen in slow cooled bulk Fe73Ga27 alloy.
