2 glasses: The influence of P 2O 5]]>

摘要

AbstractGlasses in the system BaO-SrO-ZnO-SiO2from which a phase with the composition Ba1-xSrxZn2Si2O7can be precipitated possess a strong tendency towards surface crystallization and due to the high anisotropy of the coefficient of thermal expansion of this crystal phase, the obtained glass ceramics often show microcracking. The present article deals with the effect of P2O5on the crystallization behavior of BaO-SrO-ZnO-SiO2glasses. The phase formation and the microstructure of the glass ceramics are studied using thermal analyses, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, as well as scanning electron microscopy. While the stoichiometric glass melt spontaneously crystallizes upon cooling, the P2O5addition leads to a stabilization of the glass enabling the preparation of a glass without any crystals. The appearance of stresses and microcracks during crystallization can be assigned to certain crystallographic directions using electron backscatter diffraction. Moreover, it is possible to achieve volume crystallization in this otherwise solely surface crystallizing glass system.]]>
