The behavior of structural parameters and other properties of amorphous alloys of the Fe-Cr-P-C system prepared with various durations of the isothermal hold of the initial molten metal is nonmonotonic and oscillatory. The changes in the structural parameters of the metallic glass are correlated with the kinetics of structure-sensitive properties of the original nonequilibrium molten metal during its isothermal hold. A possible explanation of the oscillations is based on a microscopic chemical heterogeneity and a change in the composition short-range order in the nonequilibrium melt after the crystal-liquid phase transition.© 1995 American Institute of Physics.
