The bulk dendrite‐ultrafine eutectic composite Fe 3 B alloy was prepared by a self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis. This technique is convenient, low cost, and capable of being scaled up for processing bulk nano/ultrafine‐structured materials. The Fe 3 B alloy is composed of a micrometer‐sized dendrite dispersed in an ultrafine laminar eutectic matrix and exhibits both high strength and large ductility in compressive tests.
