Abstract The Finemet-type multi-component alloy is one of the most commonly used nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials. In-depth understanding of its crystallization mechanism is essential for better modification of the preparation process, which is of great importance for obtaining target nanocrystalline alloys with stable and excellent soft magnetic properties. Therefore, the non-isothermal crystallization behavior of Fe74Si14.5B7.5Nb3Cu1(at%) amorphous system was studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) under different heating rates in this study. Firstly, the activation energy Eα for the crystallization process of Fe74Si14.5B7.5Nb3Cu1 amorphous system was obtained by the typical iso-conversional methods of Kissinger-Akahira-Sinose(KAS), Flyn-Wall-Ozawa(FWO), Starik and Boswell. After that, the preexponential factor A was derived by the compensation effect method, which led to the numerical reconstruction of the reaction model f(α) and the Avrami index n(α). The results showed that the crystallization of Fe74Si14.5B7.5Nb3Cu1 amorphous alloy was only relatively consistent with the reaction mechanism model of dimensional diffusion, but did not fully close to any present theoretical models, indicating that the crystallization process was a complex reaction involving multiple reaction models. The nucleation rate of crystals rapidly reached a decreasing stage (n(α)=2.3) from the increasing stage at the beginning of crystallization(α<0.2) and slowly decreased to 0(n(α)=1.5) at 0.2<α<0.5. Finally, the crystals continued to grow on the basis of existing grains (n(α)<1.5) at the end of crystallization(α>0.5), which was manifested as the three-dimensional growth with a conti-nuously decreasing nucleation rate during the entire crystallization process. The crystallization of Fe74Si14.5B7.5Nb3Cu1 amorphous alloy was a complex process dominated by three-dimensional diffusion, which was jointly controlled by multiple crystallization mechanisms and coordinated by multiple reaction models.
