A metallic body, such as a metallic glass body, is manufactured from an amorphous alloy formed from at least two starting alloy partners. First, a preliminary product is produced having respective adjacent layer of the starting alloy partners. A non-crystalline intermediate product is then developed by a rapid diffusion reaction at a predetermined relatively low temperature. The intermediate product is then further processed to form the metallic body which may be amorphous or crystalline in structure. Large scale production of such metallic bodies with relatively large thicknesses is made possible. For this purpose, a starting product is formed by joining together a predetermined number of mutually adjacent individual parts of the respective starting alloy partners by means of a bundling or stacking technique. The preliminary product with predetermined adjacent layer thicknesses is then produced from the starting product by subjecting the starting product to at least one cross-section reducing deformation treatment.
