Abstract
Kinematic viscosities near the melting point of Fe80-xCrxB15Si5 and Fe 80CrxB15-xSi5 alloys containing up to 8 at.% Cr were determined using an oscillating crucible viscosimeter. Starting from the inferred value s of the melting temperatures and the Donald-Davies parameter, the gla ss-forming abilities of these alloys are discussed. The critical cooli ng rate for the amorphization of Fe80B15Si5 was calculated using the m easured viscosity near the melting point and was found to be valid for Fe80-xCrxB15Si5 alloys too.
