The structure and magnetic properties of compacted microcrystalline NiFe (81 wt% of Ni) powder is investigated. The powder of NiFe alloy prepared by ball milling of ribbon (prepared by melt spinning) remains single phase material suitable for compaction in order to prepare soft magnetic material. The bulk samples were consolidated by uniaxial compaction of the powder in vacuum. By measuring of AC and DC magnetic properties it was found out that in bulk samples the displacement of domain walls is the dominant magnetization process, while rotation of magnetization vectors prevails in powder material.
