The structural transformations of the Fe 81 B 13 Si 4 C 2 amorphous alloy under nonisothermal as well as under isothermal conditions were studied. The amorphous alloy was stable up to a temperature of about 450 o C when the structural transformations began. The primary crystallization starts by forming Fe 3 Si as main phase (more than 80 wt %), and two minor phases Fe 2 B and Fe 3 B. With the increase of the temperature the phase composition as well as ratio of present phases is changed and

It was shown that all observed structural transformations have significant influence on the electric and magnetic properties of alloy. The electric resistivity of the crystallized alloy is lower than the amorphous one. The crystallized alloy possesses better magnetic susceptibility and retains the ferromagnetic properties in whole investigated temperature range.
