Conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy and magneto-optical Kerr effect were applied to investigate hyperfine interactions and macroscopic magnetic properties of Finemet-type thin films. Phase analysis as well as compositional evolution of hyperfine parameters and coercivity was performed in the range of chromium percentage 0 ≤ x ≤ 14. Essential differences in structure and hyperfine parameters were found for films of different chromium concentration. Coercivity shows non-monotonic dependence with minimal value at x = 5.
