The magnetic anisotropy induced in amorphous magnetic ribbons by applying a magnetic field to the melt during the solidification process is analyzed. Using a model based on the magnetization curve and on the evolution of the uniaxial torque with the applied magnetic field, the volume fractions of the sample affected by the different magnetic anisotropies are obtained for the ribbons of composition Fe80B20 and Co70Mn5Fe1Mo1Si14B9. The results are compared with those obtained in the ribbons of the same composition but with anisotropies induced by the static magnetic annealing. From these results, the different sources of the field-quenching-induced magnetic anisotropy in those amorphous magnetic ribbons are analyzed.
