Hodographs of the magnetization vector during transient processes in iron borate single crystals were investigated. Analysis of the hodographs showed that the process of 90-degree pulsed magnetization proceeds via quasiuniform rotation of the magnetization and the break in the pulsed magnetization curve is due not to a change in the nature of the magnetization mechanism but rather to a decrease of the energy expended on the excitation of shock magnetoelastic oscillations.
