Knowledge of glass forming ability (GFA) of amorphous metallic alloys is very important from both theoretical and practical point of view. Thermodynamically, the Gibbs free energy difference, ΔG between the undercooled liquid and the corresponding crystalline state is driving force for crystallization. As a consequence, it is a good indicator for glass forming ability of metallic glasses. A novel expression for ΔG has been used to estimate the GFA of recently developed Ca-based bulk metallic glasses viz. Ca53Mg23Cu24,Ca65Mg15Cu20,Ca40Mg25Cu35, Ca50Mg22.5Cu27.5 and Ca55Mg15Cu30. Different GFA criteria are also evaluated for systems taken up in the study and effect of addition of variation in composition of Ca-Mg-Cu system is also investigated. Present work suggests that among different GFA criteria, ΔG is the best criterion for the prediction of GFA for Ca-based bulk metallic glasses.

The data on the compositional dependence of glass-forming ability, glass transition, and properties of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are important for understanding the nature and glass-forming ability of metallic glasses and for their application. In this paper, we report the formation of rare-earth-based Pr–(Cu,Ni)–Al pseudo-ternary BMGs with a large bulk glass-forming composition range and distinct glass transition. The compositional dependence of glass-forming ability, glass transition, and properties were systematically studied. The contrasting effects of Al and Pr on glass formation and glass transition, unique elastic properties, and phonon softening of the BMGs are discussed from the structural point of view.

Knowledge of Glass forming Ability (GFA) of metallic glasses is of great importance as it gives an insight of a better Glass former. Number of GFA parameters like Gibb’s free energy difference ∆G, ∆S, ∆H, η, γ, γm, Q, Trg (=Tg/Tl) etc. are calculated and compared for Mg-Ni-Pr- based metallic glass forming alloys to predict which parameter describes the best GFA criterion. On the basis of these parameters the excellent glass forming composition is identified. Also the GFA parameters of Mg-Ni-Pr- based alloys are studied in air and argon atmosphere. Present work suggests that ∆G is the best GFA criterion and Mg-Ni-Pr- based metallic glassy alloys can be successfully fabricated in air due to its high oxidation resistance ability.

The internal friction (IF) behaviors of a series of LaCe-, Zr-, and La-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were studied by a computer-controlled, conventional inverted torsion pendulum. The results indicate that with an increasing temperature, the IF also increases gradually in the supercooled liquid region, followed by a decrease caused by crystallization. BMGs with a good glass forming ability (GFA) usually possess a high IF peak value for an alloy system with the same constituent elements. Furthermore, the magnitude of the IF value (Qi−1) of the inflection point is an efficient criterion of GFA. The Qi−1 value is a valid criterion under the conditions of identical constituent elements and different element contents. However, Qi−1 and GFA have no relationship among different alloy systems.
