A ameliorative criterion for predicting the glass-forming ability of metallic glasses

Abstract

Abstract A ameliorative criterion for predicting the glass-forming ability of metallic glasses was presented. The coefficient of determination (R2) of experimental log10(Rc) versus the predicted log 10 { R c l i n e a r ( T r g , D ) } is 0.72. When the predicted log 10 { R c l i n e a r ( T r g , D ) } is replaced with our predicted log 10 { R c l i n e a r ( T r g , 1 D ) } , the coefficient of determination (R2) will increase from 0.72 to 0.94, which is a great improvement for evaluating glass-forming ability (GFA).
