Abstract
Recently, it was shown that mechanical deformation processes can completely crystallize some amorphous transition‐metal–metalloid alloys. However, the mechanism is still unclear. We demonstrate here that, for the simpler amorphous Fe90Zr10 alloy, the basic thermodynamic differences between high‐energy milling and rapid quenching, associated with a crystallization controlled by elemental diffusion, could be behind this structural transformation.Keywords
