Relationship between onset of crystallization and relaxation of internal stresses in amorphous alloys.

The possibility of the existence of the correlation between the onset of crystallization and relaxation of internal (quenching) stresses, for the description of which there is a well-developed mathematical instrumentation, has been verified for industrial amorphous metal alloys. The results of the work indicate on the existence of correlation. This allows the investigation of the conditions of the formation of nanocrystal structure in alloys with the use of the model description of relaxation of stresses in amorphous materials.
