Abstract

The enrichment of the Fe73.5Si13.5B9Cu1Nb3 amorphous alloy in iron was found to change the kinetic regime of primary crystallization, which becomes two-stage rather than single-stage. The observed peculiarities of the crystallization behavior of the alloy were explained assuming that niobium plays a key role in the formation of its amorphous structure.
