Abstract: Shock wave and annealing crystallization of amorphous alloys FeSiB, FeMoSiB andFeCuNbSiB were studied by isothermal and non-isothermal DSC technique. It wasfound that the shock wave crystallization is very perfect, the fraction crystallized isvery close to 100%, though the period of crystallization is very short, only about10-4-10-6 s. Their produced phases differ from the parent phase in structure andcomposition. The high velocity of the transformation is very difficult to explain by thediffusion theory of solid state phase transition.

Key words: amorphous alloy, nano-crystallization, shock wave crystallization
