Melting behavior and the reduced glass transition temperature (T-rg) in La-
rich La-Cu-Al based alloys was systematically investigated. It was found th
at reduced glass transition temperature increased to the maximum when the l
iquidus temperature decreased to the minimum for La86-xCuxAl14 (x = 10-36)
alloys. The best glass formation in La-rich La-Cu-Al ternary system was obt
ained at La66Cu20Al14 alloy, which is at a eutectic point with the highest
reduced glass transition temperature of 0.541 among these alloys. The glass
forming ability of these alloys is correlated and discussed with their red
uced glass transition temperature.
