Critical cooling rate of a metallic liquid necessary to form glass is correlated to the valence concentration of the liquid and denote valence and atom number in a unit cell, respectively). of liquid is minimized at The principles of the composition design to form bulk metallic glasses are as follows: the component number in the alloy is larger than three, and the component percentage of the component approaches
