10(
x = 2, 4, 6) amorphous alloys were prepared by single roller melt-spinning and annealed at different temperatures. The crystalline processes and magnetic properties of the alloys were studied by X-ray diff raction and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results show that when quenching speed reaches 30 m/s, Fe

10(
x = 2, 4, 6) alloys are the same with increasing annealing temperature. Annealed below 530℃, special saturation magnetization (
Ms) changes a little. After 530℃,
Ms increases sharply. Annealed at 530℃, coercivity (
Hc) reaches the minimum. After 530℃,
Hc increases with increasing the annealing temperature.
