The calculation models in which the viscosity is used as a main parameter are proposed for the estimation of the three glass-forming ability (GFA) factors: critical cooling rate (Rc) for formation of glassy phase, reduced glass transition temperature (Tg/Tm) and supercooled liquid range (ΔTxTx−Tg), where Tg, Tmand Txare the glass transition, melting and crystallization temperature, respectively. The Rcand Tg/Tmwere analyzed on the basis of the homogeneous nucleation and growth theory by the construction of a time-transformation diagram for the crystallization of metallic glass. On the other hand, ΔTxwas calculated on the basis of a free volume theory proposed by Beukel and Sietsma, and then was related with Rccalculated from the time–transformation curve. The calculations were carried out for Fe-, Pd-, Pt-, Zr-, Mg-based metallic glasses for which the viscosity is expressed by Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann equation or the Doolittle equation. The calculated results summarized in Rc−Tg/Tmand Rc−ΔTxdiagrams agree with the experimental data qualitatively. It was shown that all the GFA factors of metallic glasses can be calculated from viscosity. These results indicate that the viscosity is the key parameter for the determinations of Rc, Tg/Tmand ΔTx.
