It is found that the predicted GFA is consistent with experiments, in the region being far away from the eutectic point. However, they do not match well in the vicinity of the eutectic point, due to the effect of the eutectic point on GFA. It can be concluded that the parameter γ′ can be used to predict GFA for an alloy system, with the effect of the eutectic point on GFA being taken into account. One can select the composition with high γ′ value, or even the eutectic point with higher γ′ value, when the eutectic points are known, as a good start point in searching for the best glass former.
