Temperature is one of the main parameters that determine the quantitative and qualitative indicators of products. Therefore, it is difficult to name a field of technology or a branch of industry where it would not be necessary to measure the temperature of solid, liquid, or gaseous substances.
In the current paper, there are considered the criteria for estimating the thermoelectric properties of metal glasses (MG) on suitability for thermometry. It is revealed that a principle of choice of thermoelectric materials based only on criteria is not quite efficient. It needs to examine also their mechanical durability, thermal, radiating, and anticorrosive properties, etc. More complete consideration proves that the use of MGs in thermometry is rather expedient.
The metastable metallic glasses are studied in the paper. Their properties as the material for producing the sensitive elements of thermometric transducers depend on the peculiarities of manufacturing the mentioned material. The selection of modes of glass production and the correction of modes facilitates to increase in the operating temperatures of the transducers or/and extends their service life.
