Abstarct: In recent years, magnetic nanowires according to their applications in high-density magnetic storage media and Giant Magneto Resistane (GMR) hase been of interest to many scientists and researchers. So far, different magnetic nanowires including single element and alloy nanowires such as NiFe were investigated. To prepare the nanowires, first a alumina template was prepared by the two-stage anodized method and then iron-nickl alloy nanowires were electrodeposited on alumina template with different electrolyte concentrations and tempratures. Morphology of the alumina template and nanowires were studied by using field effect scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and structural properties of nanowires were investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Alloy elements percentages and magnetic properties of nanowires were studied by X- ray fluorescence spectroscopy analysis (XRF) and vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) respectively. FESEM images recorded from the porous alumina surface indicated that the best porous condition obtaines for voltage is 25V, electrolyte temperature 11 ℃ and deposit on time 3.5h. The result of X-ray diffraction showed that the NiFe alloy nanowires have a body centered cubic structure. These investigations indicated that increasing the concentration of iron in the electrolyte solution causes increase in iron atomic percentage and decrease in nickl atomic percentage in alloy. Magnetic measurements carried out on two sets of samples grown at 30 ℃ and 60 ℃ electrolyte temperatures. According to magnetic measurements carried out on solution temperatures of 30 ℃ and 60 ℃, coercivity, saturation magnetization, and squareanss increase with increasing of iron ions concentration. But when the nanowires grows in an electrolyte solution temperature of 60 ℃, the values of Hc, Ms, and S decrease compare to coresponding values in 30 ℃ temperature.
