The patterns of changes in the coercive force and the exchange bias field of a number of iron-containing ferromagnetic layers FM = Fe, Fe20Ni80, Fe10Co90, Fe60Co20B20 in Cr70Mn30/FM films have been determined with varying thickness of the Cr70Mn30 antiferromagnetic layer and its doping W. The interpretation of the results obtained is based on the low stability of the magnetic state of the crystallites composing the antiferromagnetic layer. It is shown that it can be increased due to an increase in the volume of crystallites with an increase in the thickness of the antiferromagnetic layer. In this case, the final result largely depends on the specifics of the interlayer exchange interaction between the antiferromagnetic layer and ferromagnetic layers of various compositions. It was also found that the introduction of W weakens the magnetic anisotropy of the Cr-Mn antiferromagnetic layer, but has a positive effect on the reproducibility of the hysteresis properties of film composites. Keywords: antiferromagnet, ferromagnet, layering, composition, texture, thickness, temperature, coercive force, exchange bias, alloying.
