Using a mathematical model of competitive crystallization of polymorphic metals a numerical analysis of formation kinetics of the metastable polytype of lanthanum ($\mu$-La), which is fixed in the products of quenching from the liquid state in a mixture with crystallization of the equilibrium f.c.c. $\beta$-modification, is carried out. The interval of rapidly quenched foils thicknesses is determined, within which the metastable $\mu$-phase is formed in quantities sufficient for experimental detection. The calculated data agree with the results of X-ray phase analysis at the physically correct value of the free parameter of the model $\Delta$G$_{\mu\beta}$ = 5 J/mol, which has the meaning of the degree of metastability of $\mu$-La.
Key words: melt quenching of lanthanum, competitive crystallization, metastable polytype, formation kinetics.
