The question of applicability of the principles of synergetics 
to the description of the structure formation in nonferrous metals 
and alloys under thermal cyclic actions is discussed. It is shown 
that a metal under such actions is a dissipative system whose structure 
can evolve endlessly, without destruction of the material.
