Abstract
It is found that Fe-P-Si-V alloys tend to be in an amorphous state on cooli ng at a rate of 10(5) to 10(6) K/s. As compared to Fe-P-Si alloys, the crys tallization behavior of the Fe-P-Si-V alloys is more complex owing to the f ormation of both metastable and equilibrium silicides. The metastable phase s are nanocrystalline, as evidenced by transmission electron microscopy, wh ich ensures a noticeable strength gain.
