An electromagnetic radiation susceptor material comprises at least one species of particle dispersed in a dielectric binder material. Any dispersed species of particle comprises a ferromagnetic amorphous alloy having the composition F.sub.100-y-x M.sub.y TM.sub.x, where M is one or more magnetic elements selected from the group consisting of Fe, Co, and Ni; M is one or more metalloids selected from the group consisting of B, C, Al, Si, P and Ge; TM is one or more transition metal selected from the group consisting of columns IIIB (including the rare earths) to VIIB of the periodic table, and especially Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Zr, Nb, and Ta; 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.20; and 10.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.30. The transition metal controls the Curie temperature of the alloy to provide temperature self-regulation. Many types dielectric binder are suitable. The susceptor material may be applied to substrate, such as an electrically conductive material.
An electromagnetic radiation susceptor material, comprising at least one of a species of particles dispersed in a dielectric binder material, in which at least one of the species of particles comprises a ferromagnetic amorphous alloy having a composition F.sub.100-y-x M.sub.y TM.sub.x, where F is at least one of any magnetic element selected from a first group consisting of Fe, Co, and Ni;
A laminated construction comprising at least two laminae of an electromagnetic radiation susceptor material, each lamina comprising at least one of a species of particles dispersed in a dielectric binder material, in which at least one of the species of particles comprises a ferromagnetic amorphous alloy having a composition F.sub.100-y-x M.sub.y TM.sub.x, where F is at least one of any magnetic element selected from a first group consisting of Fe, Co, and Ni;
