Using a quasi-chemical method coupled with Miedema's semi-empirical method, we have estimated critical glass-forming compositions for bulk metallic glasses of metal-metal type alloys such as La-Ni-Al, Cu-Zr-Ti and Zr-Ni-Al that exhibit maximum temperature spans of their supercooled liquid region, ΔT x (= T x - T g ), reaching 37--77 K. We applied Cowley's chemical short-range order (CSRO) parameters η ij for specific constituent i-j atomic pairs calculated by the quasi-chemical method to obtain the short-range order parameter γ of the amorphous phase, which is used as a constant in the calculation of formation enthalpies by Miedema's method. In this study, the constant y is treated as a function of the composition of atomic pairs such as γ ij (η ij ). From the calculated results, it appears that the most negative value of η ij corresponds to a highly stable liquid state because of the occurrence of chemical short-range order, implying that bulk metallic glasses can be produced. Stability and instability of the liquid phase have been discussed in terms of the compositional dependence of Cowley's CSRO parameters and enthalpy difference parameters. The calculated results predict fairly well the critical glass-forming compositions for the various bulk metallic glasses, even predicting the asymmetrical composition dependence of the glass-forming composition ranges. Furthermore, the relation of η ij (= η 12 with interaction parameters e 2 1 yields the characteristics of interaction between dissimilar solutes in 0-1-2 ternary metallic solutions.
