Abstract—A two-stage procedure for calculating the thermodynamic functions of the crystallization of amor-
phous alloys in the Fe–B and Fe–Si–B systems is described. Amorphous alloys are treated as frozen super-
cooled liquids, the thermodynamic properties of which are expressed in terms of the model of ideally associated
solutions. The concentration-temperature dependence of the thermodynamic properties of the alloys is extrap-
olated to the region of low temperatures by applying the modern concepts of the heat capacity of supercooled
solutions. The calculated enthalpies of crystallization of amorphous alloys closely agree with the available cal-
orimetric data.
