The evolution of phase, microstructure, relative density and hardness of amorphous alloy as a function of spark plasma sintering temperature is discussed. Transmission electron microscopy investigation has shown partial divitrification of amorphous matrix into nanocrystalline phase during spark plasma sintering of amorphous Fe alloy. The hardness of amorphous alloy sintered at 525 - 575°C are in the range of 675 - 725 MPa. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.
