Received 7 April 1995

The amorphous alloys of refractory transition metals (Nb, Mo, Ta, W) and good electric conducting metals (Al, Cu, Ag, Au) are studied. The expected glass forming ability and range of amorphous phase formation in such binary systems is examined and compared to the range of actually formed amorphous alloys so far. Data on thermal stability are reviewed. Finally, a set of promising binary combinations is selected for technological application.
