This paper presents the results of research on saturation magnetic polarisation, as a function of temperature, for a group of rapidly-cooled FeCoB alloys. The tested alloys have soft magnetic properties. Thermal stability, as determined by the Curie temperature, is one of the most important parameters for classifying the use of magnetic materials. In this work, the Curie temperature values for selected alloys were determined, using the critical factor of β=0.36. The area under each saturation magnetic polarisation curve, and the shape of the curve itself, were also analysed. It was found that even small changes in the chemical composition of the alloy can lead to a shift in the temperature that marks the boundary between the ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states.
