Abstract
We present the results of the investigations of magnetic properties of the amorphous Fe- and Co-based wires with different magnetostriction depending on their length ( 8mm < L < 28 mm). For a Co-based wires it is estimated a critical wire length L*, for L<L* the influence of demagnetization fields on the wire magnetization is substantial and the wire remanent magnetization is in proportional to the square of the wire length. At cross remagnetization it was found the oscillations of the magnetic moment component along the wire axis.
