Abstract The microstructure changes in the nanocrystalline soft magnetic material of FeZrB(Cu) alloys with different temperatures of heat treatment and dynamic heating-up processes have been investigated by using TEM and EDAX. It has been found that there appears appreciable phase separation before crystallization. In amorphous phase there are Zr-rich and Fe-rich regions. The Zr-rich phase has a very important effect on precipitation and stability of bcc Fe phase, and the obvious precipitation of α-Zr phase indictates the beginning of instable growth for bcc Fe phase. It has been confirmed that the phase separation of FeZrB(Cu) alloys is a spinodal decomposition process. Correspondent.
