Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Increased silicon and boron content of amorphous alloys with 15–30% (B+Si) causes a rise of the crystallization temperature, and consequently, greater stability of the metastable state.

  2. 2.

    The principal phase in the crystallization of amorphous alloys of the system Fe−Si−B is α-ferrite. As a rule, the crystallization of amorphous alloys proceeds in several stages and ends with the formation of a mixture of α-ferrite and the metastable binary phases Fe3Si; Fe3B; Fe26B6. Ternary and binary equilibrium compounds form solely after lengthy annealing.

  3. 3.

    When rapidly quenched alloys are heat-treated, highly disperse structures form. A fine-grained structure and correspondingly high microhardness are retained within wide ranges of temperatures and holding times.
