Prediction of Glass Forming Ranges in Ti–Ni–Zr, Ti–Cu–Zr and Ti–Cu–Hf Systems Based on Miedema and Atomic Parameter Models

Abstract

Prediction of the glass forming range is of great significance for the preparation of metallic glasses. A new theoretical model that comprises the bond parameter function and formation enthalpy is proposed. The glass forming ranges of Ti–Ni–Zr, Ti–Cu–Zr, and Ti–Cu–Hf systems were predicted by this model. The predicted results are in good agreement with experimental data. The prediction range of this model was compared with that of the subregular model, and was found to be more accurate and provide a better theoretical reference for experimental preparation.
