| Abstract |
| The interrelationship between new parameter σ and maximum diameter, D(max) (or critical cooling rate, Rc) is elaborated and discussed in comparison with four other glass forming ability (GFA) parameters, i.e. (1) super-cooled liquid region ΔTx (= Tx - Tg), (2) reduced glass transition temperature Trg (= Tg/Tl), (3) K parameter K (= [Tx -Tg]/[Tl -Tx]), and (4) gamma parameter y (= [Tx]/[Tl +Tg]) in Mg-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) systems. The new parameter σ, defined as, ΔT* × P`, has a solid correlation with Dmax and Rc in Mgbased BMG systems. The σ parameter has a much better interrelationship with GFA in Mg-based BMG systems than the parameters for GFA suggested so far. |
