A ameliorative criterion for predicting the glass-forming ability of metallic glasses

A ameliorative criterion for predicting the glass-forming ability of metallic glasses was presented. The coefficient of determination (R2) of experimental log10(Rc) versus the predicted log10{Rclinear(Trg,D)} is 0.72. When the predicted log10{Rclinear(Trg,D)} is replaced with our predicted log10{Rclinear(Trg,1D)}, the coefficient of determination (R2) will increase from 0.72 to 0.94, which is a great improvement for evaluating glass-forming ability (GFA).
