The unique fractal structure was formed through the multi-step liquid phase separation [4,5].'' ~ REFERENCES~ Recently, two-phase amorphous alloys have been obtained through liquid phase separation in La-Zr-Al-Ni-Cu[1], Y-Ti-Al-Co[2], and Ni-Nb-Y[3] by means of rapid solidification. In a multi-component alloy system, phase separation in a liquid state occurs first, after which each liquid region undergoes a liquid-to-glass transition, resulting in the formation of a two-phase amorphous alloy. These alloys systems also show an unique behavior of "multi-step liquid phase separation". Figure 1 shows the schematic illustration of multi-step liquid phase separation. We try to develop new metallic materials based on the concept of multi-step liquid phase separation in Fe-Cu and Co-Cu based alloys [4,5]. Figure 2 shows the typical example of Fractal-like structure formed by multi-step liquid phase separation in Fe-Zr-B-Cu alloys [4,5]. ~ REFERENCES~ [1] A.A Kundig, M. Ohnuma, D.H. Ping, T. Ohkubo, K.
