CaO-Al2O3-SiO2系烧结微晶玻璃的结晶过程

To control the quatity, grain size and morphology of crystals in glass-ceramics, relative crystallinity of CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ sintered glass-ceramics was determined using XRD method. The crystallization at different temperature range was studied by SEM. The results indicate that sintering at low temperature (below 900　℃), crystals originate at the interface of glass particles and grow toward the inside of particles. There was no crystallization taken place within particles and the crystallinity was relatively low. Higher crystallinity can be obtained at mid temperature range (900～1　050　℃) when crystallization takes place both at and within the interface of glass particles. The crystallinity tends to decrease at high temperature range (1　050～1　100　℃) due to the rapid sintering and drop of driving force for phase transformation.
