Abstract The glass-forming ability (GFA) of the Ni-B-Sn ternary system has been analysed. The addition of small quantities of tin increases the GFA with relation to the Ni-B binary system. Glass formation was observed in the nickel-rich corner of the Ni-B-Sn ternary system for a tin content 〈15 at %. The difficulty of formation of a ternary compound Ni21 B6Sn2 (τ-phase) seems to play an important role in the GFA.
