The effects of thermkal-rate treatment technique on the critical thickness of glass formation for an Al85Ni10Ce5 alloy melt have been investigated. The amorphous ribbon of the alloy with a thickness of 300μm is obtained using a single-roller melt-spinning technique by the thermal-rate tteatment, while that of 50μm is obtained at conventional melt superheavitn condition. The experiment shows that the coordiantion numbers of the Al85Ni10Ce5 alloy melt decreases from 12 to 9 with increasing melt temperature from 900 to 1200℃. The relationship between the corrdination numbers, the first position of the main peak of the alloy melt and the critical cooling rate for getting amorphous alloys has been discussed.
