摘要
A modified indicator of the glass forming ability （GFA） from the previous 7 = Tx/（Tl ＋ Tg） for various glass forming liquids is proposed based on a conceptual approach which combines more acceptable physical metallurgy views in terms of the time-temperature-transformation diagrams. It is found that the glass forming ability for glass forming liquids is closely associated mainly with two factors, i.e. （2Tx - Tg） and Tl （wherein Tx is the onset crystallization temperature, Tg the glass transition temperature, and Tl the liquidus temperature）, and could be predicated by a unified parameter γm defined as （2Tx - Tg）/Tl. This approach is confirmed and validated by experimental data in various glass forming systems including oxide glasses, cryoprotectants and metallic glasses, which all shows a higher reliability when their glass forming ability is predicted by the modified parameter.
