Abstract:	Abstract: In order to stabilize the supercooled liquid and enhance the glass forming ability of Al-based glass forming alloy, the alloying design based on minor Ca substitution for Al was examined to retard the precipitation of face-centered-cubic (FCC) Al. Calcium was selected as the alloying element, because it has a large negative mixing heating with Al but a positive value with the other components. This is anticipated to facilitate formation of Al–Ca clusters and then inhibit the diffusion of Al atoms which is thought to be the dominant reason that limits the glass forming ability (GFA) of Al-based alloys. The proposed strategy was confirmed in experiments by the observation of a greatly increased reduced glass transition temperature, T rg = T g/T l (T g the glass transition temperature and T l the liquidus temperature), the increased the activation energy for crystallization, and the increased activation energy for diffusion. The Al85−x Y8Ni5Co2Ca x (x = 0.5–5) system is found to possess extraordinarily high T rg = 0.613 far exceeding that for any known Al-based glass forming alloys. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
