Abstract
The fragility of superheated melts, M, for 13 kinds of metallic alloys has been evaluated from the data of the dynamic viscosity above their liquidus temperatures. The authors find that the glass forming ability of metallic melts depends on the fragility of superheated melts rather than on the value of viscosity. In the present work the value of fragility is less than 1 for good glass-forming melts but more than 1 for the other melts. The variation rate of atomic coordination number with temperature indicates clearly the relaxation rate of molten structures. The fragility of superheated melts is found in good agreement with the variation rate of the atomic coordination number with temperature.
