Electric resistivity measurements and X-ray diffraction analysis were performed to study theisothermal phase transformation in amorphous Au-Si ribbons with eutectic composition pre-pared using melt-spinning technique.A series of phase transformations take placespontaneously at room temperature and accelerate at elevated temperatures.Four stages ofthe transformation from amorphous state to the equilibrium state can be distinguished.Dis-cussion on the structural character of the metastable phases indicates that Hume-Rotheryelectron compounds and size factor compounds could form during isothermal aging.
