A magnetic layer that may serve as a top pole layer and bottom pole layer in a magnetic write head is disclosed. The magnetic layer has a composition represented by Fe<SUB>w</SUB>Co<SUB>x</SUB>Ni<SUB>y</SUB>V<SUB>z </SUB>in which w, x, y, and z are the atomic % of Fe, Co, Ni, and V, respectively, and where w is between about 60 and 85, x is between about 10 and 30, y is between 0 and about 20, z is between about 0.1 and 3, and wherein w+x+y+z=100. An electroplating process having a plating current density of 3 to 30 mA/cm<SUP>2 </SUP>is used to deposit the magnetic layer and involves an electrolyte solution with a small amount of VOSO<SUB>4 </SUB>which is the V source. The resulting magnetic layer has a magnetic saturation flux density B<SUB>s </SUB>greater than 1.9 Telsa and a resistivity rho higher than 70 muohms-cm.
