Relation Between Viscosity and Electrical Conductivity of Silicate Melts

摘要

The relation between viscosity and electrical conductivity of binary silicate melts is studied. The logarithm of viscosity varied linearly with the logarithm of conductivity. Furthermore, the lines are different for a MO-SiO₂ system than for a M₂O-SiO₂ system. Compared with the MO-SiO₂ system, the viscosity of the M₂O-SiO₂ system decreases more with the increase in conductivity.
