The physical model of stress development in amorphous alloys
is considered. The matrix elastic energy Ualpha*beta(R)
and that of the surface tension of structure inhomogeneities DELTA
H are found to be similar in magnitude and to amount from 5 to 20 kJ/mol.
The quenching stress level has been estimated and changes in sigmaij
due to thermal factors found basing on the analysis of electron-microscopic
images of amorphous alloys of different compositions using the coherent
Fourier spectroscopy. Specific features of the kinetics and mechanism
of the structural relaxation and crystallization of some amorphous
alloys have been considered.
