The non-isothermal crystallization of alpha-Fe from Fe81B13Si4C2 amorphous alloy Was investigated. The kinetic parameters of crystallization process were determined by Kissinger and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) methods. It was established that the kinetic parameters of transformation do not change with the degree of crystallization in the range of 0.1-0.7. The kinetic model of the crystallization process was determined using the Malek's procedure. It was established that the primary crystallization alpha-Fe phase from amorphous alloy can be described by Sestak-Berggren autocatalytic model with kinetic triplet E-a = 349.4.0 kJ mol(-1), In A = 50.76 and f(alpha) = alpha(0.72)(1-alpha)(1.02).
