A modified indicator of the glass forming ability (GFA) from the previous γ= Tx/(Tl+Tg) for various glass forming liquids is proposed based on a conceptual approach which combines more acceptable physical metallurgy views in terms of the time-temperature-transformation diagrams. It is found that the glass forming ability for glass forming liquids is closely associated mainly with two factors, i.e. (2Tx-Tg) and Tl (wherein Tx is the onset crystallization temperature, Tg the glass transition temperature, and Tl the liquidus temperature), and could be predicated by a unified parameter γm defined as (2Tx-Tg)/Tl. This approach is confirmed and validated by experimental data in various glass forming systems including oxide glasses, cryoprotectants and metallic glasses, which all shows a higher reliability when their glass forming ability is predicted by the modified parameter.
