The effect of thermal treatment on the character of the 
development of shear bands near the concentrator of stresses in iron-based 
amorphous alloys has been studied. It was found that rolling facilitates 
a decrease of the temperature at which inhomogeneous plasticity of 
the condensed system that does not possess a long-range order disappears; 
as loading on the indentor increases, the number of semiring-type 
shear bands in the rolled specimens decreases, with the number and 
length of the beam-type shear bands being larger than in the original 
materials.
