A review of the literature data on the problem of the disordered structural-states' formation during the rapid cooling of metallic melts is performed. The author's approach novelty consists in the fact that, in addition to the generally accepted model of metallic glasses (MG), which are structurally amorphous-nanocrystalline composites, the conditions for fixing single-phase amorphous structures lacking inclusions of the crystalline component are analysed. The criteria for the tendency of melts
