Abstract

Equilibria E 4000Proposed Thermodynamic Method to Predict the Glass Formation of the Ternary Transition Metal Systems. -A thermodynamic method is proposed to predict the glass forming range of a ternary metal system by considering the energetic competition between the crystalline solid solution and glass phase. For several systems including Cu-Zr-Ti and Cu-Hf-Ti, the predicted alloys with superior glass forming ability match well with those reported from experimental observations. -(WANG, T. L.; LI, J.
