Abstract: Kinetics of the alpha- to sigma-phase transformation in an equiatomic Fe-V alloy has been studied by Mossbauer Spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The B2 superstructure seems to form prior to the precipitation of the sigma-phase. The results obtained in this study give evidence that in the investigated interval, the transformation kinetics strongly depends on temperature. The kinetics of the alpha- to sigma-phase transformation, as determined from the temperature dependence of the average hyperfine field derived from the Mossbauer spectra, has been quantitatively described in terms of the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation, from which the kinetics parameters n and k have been determined.
