Abstract
The crystallization behavior and thermal stability of Fe–Cr–Mo–B–P–Si–C amorphous alloy, prepared by mechanical alloying (MA), were investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). One exothermic peak was observed on DSC traces, implying that the crystallization process undergoes only one stage. The crystallization kinetic parameters, including activation energy ( E a ), Avrami exponent ( n) were determined with non-isothermal analysis method based on the DSC data. The results suggest that the crystallization mechanism is governed dominantly by a three-dimensional diffusion-controlled growth. In addition a relatively high value of activation energy of crystallization (386.04 ± 10 kJ/mol) was found, indicating that this amorphous alloy has high thermal stability.
