Abstract: Metallic glasses were potentially industrial materials due to their excellent properties, such as high specific strength and high corrosion resistance. However, glass-forming ability (GFA) limited their applications greatly. Some key theories and parameters associated with GFA of metallic glasses were reviewed, expecting present new insights and developing bulk metallic glasses.
