Abstract
The relationships between grain size and annealing temperature for nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloys were investigated,
an improved model based on the crystallization kinetics was proposed, and the unusual phenomenon that the grain size
firstly increases, then decreases, and finally increases again with the increasing annealing temperature was explained by
using this model. Theoretical analysis results are in excellent agreement with the existing experimental data..
