The magnetostriction and magnetic softness of rapidly quenched (Tb
0.3Dy
0.7)Fe
2 alloys prepared at various quenching rates were investigated. The magnetic softness of magnetostriction was estimated from both the residual magnetostriction, λ
R, measured in a remanent state and the phenomenological softness parameter,
H'c. The value of λ
R increases monotonically from 100 × 10
-6 to 700 × 10
-6 with incresing roll velocity V
Roll. The parameter
H'c exhibits a maximum of 0.7 kOe at values of
VRoll between 15 and 20 m/s. The magnetostriction measured at 20 kOe, λ
20k, exhibits abroad minimum as a function of
VRoll. Both λ
20k and
H'c depend mainly on the preferred orientation of the ribbons. A value of 580 × 10
-6 for λ
// was obtained at 0.5 kOe; this is comparable with the value for a single crystal sample.
