Since the recognition of stabilization phenomenon of supercooled liquid in multi-component metallic alloys without metalloid elements in 1988, a number of nonequilibrium alloys in a bulk form have been fabricated with the aim of clarifying the origin for its novel phenomenon and finding useful characteristics. This review deals with alloy systems in which the stabilization can be achieved, stabilization mechanism, and physical, chemical, mechanical and magnetic properties of the resulting glassy and nonequilibrium crystalline bulk alloys.
