Abstract
A solidified amorphous alloy material is produced from a melt of its desired metal material. A melt feeding route is provided with a first-stage quenching zone. The melt is quenched to a predetermined temperature in the first-stage quenching zone. The thus-quenched melt is then introduced into a second-stage quenching and solidification zone, whereby the melt is cooled further and solidified into a solidified material having an amorphous phase.

A process for the production of a solidified amorphous alloy material from a metal melt comprising the steps of:
- quenching a melt of a desired metal material in a first-stage quenching zone provided in a melt feeding route so that the melt is quenched to a temperature range of from .+-.100.degree. K. of the melting point (Tm) of the metal material;
- and
- introducing the melt into a second-stage quenching and solidification zone where the melt is cooled further and solidified into a solid material having an amorphous phase.
