Figure 2. Fabrication concept of metallic glass: Schematic of continuous cooling transformation (CCT) curve diagram for the onset of crystallization of a glass-forming liquid. Between Tm and Tg, (arrow 1; normal cooling Nc) depicts the crystallization phase which can be avoided with the cooling rate (Rc; arrow 2) ≥ critical cooling rate (Rc; arrow 3) to conserve the macroscopically disordered structure of the liquid at the Tg.
