Nickel-phosphorus metallic glass (MG) is one of the most typical MGs, and is also one of the most popular studied MG components, especially in the process of establishing the structure model of amorphous alloys and computer simulations. Although it appears throughout the history of amorphous alloy research, its glass transition temperature and liquid properties have not yet been determined due to its low ability to form glass. In this work, we bypassed the crystallization of Ni80P20 MG during the glass transition process by an ultrafast calorimeter with heating rates up to thousands of Kelvin per second and directly detected its glass transition process. This method offers an opportunity to expose the nature of the Ni80P20 MG supercooled liquid. The liquid fragility of the metallic glass Ni80P20 was determined by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann equation based on the dependence of the glass transition temperature at different heating rates. The results show that the liquid fragility of Ni80P20 MG is 93 ± 4, which is obviously a very “fragile” liquid compared with other bulk MGs. It is suggested that this “fragile” liquid behavior of Ni80P20 MG may lead to its low glass-forming ability.
