Abstract

The ability to predict ready glass formation (RGF) in binary alloy systems upon rapid cooling of the melt is of value both theoretically and practically. Two-dimensional maps show promise as a means of associating RGF with two system parameters which must have a combination of favorable values. In this paper, two types of glass formation diagrams are reviewed. One of these, the ΔH-r/R plot, is based on fundamental parameters which can, in principle, be derived from elemental quantities for each binary alloy system. The second type of diagram, the temperature-composition map, uses two equilibrium phase diagram features, namely reduced liquidus temperatures and reduced eutectic compositions to predict RGF. Both approaches are compared for binary alloys of Zr. The temperature-composition plot approach can be extended to predict qualitatively the RGF composition range of a given alloy system.
