The authors employed the constructed Mg–Cu–Y interatomic potential as the starting base and established a relevant atomistic computation/simulation route to assist the design of favored and even optimized compositions and to elucidate the structural origin of glass forming ability in the Mg–Cu–Y system.

Interatomic potentials are constructed for eight representative binary metal systems covering various structural combinations and thermodynamic characteristics. On the basis of the constructed interatomic potentials, molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the physical origin of metallic glass formation is the crystalline lattice collapsing while solute atoms are exceeding the critical value, thus determining two critical solid solubilities for the system. For a binary metal system, the composition range bounded by the two determined critical solid solubilities is therefore defined as its intrinsic glass-forming range, or quantitative glass-forming ability.

Bulk metallic glasses have been formed over a fairly wide composition range (54–62 at.% Ni, 32–36 at.% Nb, and 3–11 at.% Sn) in the Ni–Nb–Sn ternary system. Partial substitution of Co for Ni and Hf for Nb improves the glass-forming ability, eventually leading to 4 mm glassy rods at the Ni56Co3Nb28Hf8Sn5 composition. The positive effects of these alloying elements have been explained based on a systematic monitoring of the amount and morphology of the competing crystalline phases as a function of the Co and Hf contents.

Mg−Cu−Y alloys with optimal glass forming ability have been found at off-eutectic compositions. The critical size for bulk metallic glass formation at the pinpointed compositions more than doubles that of the previously discovered eutectic Mg65Cu25Y10 alloy, leading to fully glassy rods with near-centimeter diameters in the ternary system upon copper mold casting. The result is a striking demonstration of the strong composition dependence of the glass forming ability, as well as of the need to scrutinize off-eutectic compositions. The implications of the discovery are discussed.
