Abstract: The structure of Fe-2.0 alloy melt was investigated at 1580, 1560, 1540 and 1450℃ by using an X-ray diffractometer respectively. The results showed that with decreasing temperature, the average atoms of cluster, the coordination numbers, the correlation radius and the atom density increased, whereas the pre-peak of the structure factors curve remained almost at the same position. The appearance of the pre-peak indicated that the liquid structure and the solid structure of the Fe-2.00 alloy were correlated.

Key words: liquid structure, X-ray diffraction, micro-inhomogeneous model,
