Abstract
Results from investigating the effect of thermomechanical processing on the thermal stability of amorphous Fe-B alloys are presented. It is shown that the combined thermomechanical processing of amorphous alloys raises the temperature of intense crystallization onset by 80 K for binary alloys; by 20–50 K, for multicomponent alloys. The greater expansion of the thermal stability interval of binary alloys relative to multicomponent alloys is explained by the presence of alloying dopants such as molybdenum, nickel, and silicon that inhibit the diffusion of boron and thus hinders nucleation and the growth of the crystalline phase. The enhanced thermal stability of amorphous alloys induced by thermomechanical processing is explained by the reduction in size of amorphous-phase frozen crystallization centers and by the formation of a nanostructured state.
