Willemite glass-ceramics were successfully derived from conventional melt-quench ZnO-SLS precursor glass by an isothermal heat treatment process. The effect of heat treatment temperatures on the physical properties was investigated by Archimedes principle and linear shrinkage. The generation of willemite crystal phase and morphology with increase in heat treatment temperature was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques. X-ray diffraction revealed that the metastableβ-Zn2SiO4and thermodynamically stable zinc orthosilicateα-Zn2SiO4phases can be observed at temperatures above 700°C. The experimental results indicated that the density and shrinkage of the glass-ceramic vary with increasing the sintering temperature. FTIR studies showed that the structure of glass-ceramic consists of SiO2and ZnO4units and exhibits the structural evolution of willemite glass-ceramics. The characteristic of strong vibrational bands can be related to theSiO44-tetrahedron corresponding to reference spectra of willemite.

ABSTRACTTransparent optical ZnO–Bi2O3–B2O3 (ZBB) glass-ceramics were created by the melt quenching technique. In this work, a melt of the glass containing stoichiometric ratios of Zn/Bi/B and As was studied. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements was used to measure the thermal behavior. VIS/NIR transmission measurements were used to determine the transmission window. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine crystal phase. In this study, we explore new techniques and report a detailed study of in-situ XRD of the ZBB composition in order to correlate nucleation temperature, heat treatment temperature, and heat treatment duration with induced crystal phase.

Ternary borate glasses from the system Na2O?CaO?B2O3 together with soda-lime-borate samples containing 5 wt.% of MgO, Al2O3, SiO2 or P2O5 were prepared. The obtained glasses were converted to their glass-ceramic derivatives by controlled heat treatment. X-ray diffraction was employed to investigate the separated crys?talline phases in glass-ceramics after heat treatment of the glassy samples. The glasses and corresponding glass-ceramics after immersion in water or diluted phosphate solution for extended times were characterized by the grain method (adopted by several authors and recommended by ASTM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectra to justify the formation of hydroxyapatite as an indication of the bone bonding ability. The influence of glass composition on bioactivity potential was discussed too.

ABSTRACTThe investigations on enhanced reprocessing of nuclear spent fuel, and notably on separating the long-lived minor actinides, such as Am and Cm, from the other fission products have led to the development of highly durable specific matrices such as glass-ceramics for their immobilization. This study deals with the characterization of zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) based glass-ceramics synthesized by devitrification of an aluminosilicate parent glass. Trivalent actinide ions were simulated by neodymium, which is a paramagnetic local probe. Glass-ceramics with Nd2O3 contents ranging from 0 to 10 weight % were prepared by heat treatment of a parent glass at two different growth temperatures: 1050° and 1200°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements clearly indicate that Nd3+ ions are partly incorporated in zirconolite crystals formed in the bulk of the glass-ceramic samples. The amount of neodymium in the crystalline phase was estimated using ESR results and was found to decrease with increasing either heat treatment temperature or total Nd2O3 content.

In this study, the effects of heat treatment temperatures on structural and magnetic properties in MnFe2O4(MF)/SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 (bioglass) bioactive glass ceramics were investigated. The MF/SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 bioactive glass ceramics were fabricated under various heat treatment temperatures in a range of 600-1000 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to characterize phase and microstructure. The magnetic properties were determined from Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The X-ray diffraction peaks presented two major crystalline phases: MnFe2O4 and Na2Ca2Si3O9. It was found that the heat treatment temperatures are the most influential parameter on microstructure and magnetic properties of the bioactive glass ceramics. The highest magnetic properties of studied ceramics were found in the sample heated at 1000 °C with adding 20 wt%. MF. The microstructural properties of the studies samples were investigated and the results were then correlated with the characteristics of heat treatment temperatures as well as the microstructure of the bioactive glass ceramic.

In this paper, β-eucryptite glass ceramics were synthesized by using solid reaction method. Phase constitution, structure and properties of the material were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Furthermore, the effects of heat treatment temperature and preservation time on the thermal expansion coefficient were also analyzed. The results showed that the crystallization temperature of β-eucryptite glass ceramics was in the range of 810-860 °C and the content was more than 90%. With the increase of heat treatment temperature, the material expansion coefficient decreased.

The crystallization of planar solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) sealant glasses in the systems BaO-Al2O3-SiO2-B2O3 (BaBS) and BaO-Al2O3-SiO2-B2O3-ZnO (BaBS-Zn) was investigated via both X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The effect of nucleation heat-treatment of the BaBS glass at different temperature for 5 hours, i.e. 550 and 590 °C, on the crystallization behavior was also studied. Thermal expansion profiles of the glasses indicate that both glasses have a low sealing temperature. XRD patterns of all BaBS glass-ceramics, devitrified at 800 °C for 30 hours, show that Ba2Si3O8, BaAl2Si2O8, Ba3B2O6 and some unknown crystalline phases were found. It was also found that crystalline size of unknown barium aluminosilicate with low silicon content depends on the nucleation heat-treatment temperature. For the ZnO-containing glass, ZnO reduces the coefficient of thermal expansion value of glass and causes the devitrification of large needle-like barium zinc silicate phases. The crack at the YSZ/BaBS-Zn glass-ceramic interface was also observed. Two barium silicate phases, which are BaZnSiO4 and BaZn2Si2O7 were devitrified in ZnO-containing glass-ceramic.

A new transparent zinc silicate glass-ceramic was derived from the 55ZnO–5B2O3–40SLS glass system via a controlled heat-treatment method. The precursor glass sample was placed through the heat-treatment process at different temperatures to study the progress in phase transformation, optical performance and emission intensity of the zinc silicate glass-ceramics. For this project, material characterization was measured through several tests using densimeter and linear shrinkage measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared reflection (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The density and linear shrinkage measurements show that the density of the particular glass-ceramic samples increases with the progression of heating temperature. The XRD analysis displays the result in which the zinc silicate crystal starts to grow after the sample was treated at 700 °C. In addition, the FTIR spectra indicated that the crystallization of the zinc silicate phase occurred with the appearance of SiO4, ZnO4 and Si-O-Zn bands. UV–visible exhibited the small changes when the value for the optical band gap decreased from 3.867 to 3.423 eV, influenced by the temperature applied to the sample. Furthermore, the PL spectroscopy showed an enhancement of broad green emission at 534 nm upon the increased heat-treatment temperature. Thus, it can be concluded there is the progression of crystal growth as the heat-treatment temperature increased; three emission peaks appeared at 529, 570 and 682 nm for the green, yellow and red emissions, respectively.

A glass-ceramic belonging to the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2(CAS) system with different composition of spodumene and doping the Li2O with amount between 0~2.5 % (mass fraction) were prepared by onestage heat treatment, under sintering and crystallization temperature at 1120 °C for two hours. In this paper, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry and bending strength test were employed to investigate the microstructure and properties of all samples. β-wollastonite crystals were identified as the major crystalline phases, and increasing Li2O was found to be benefit for the crystallization and tiny crystalline phases remelting, resulting in the content of major crystalline phases increased first and then decreased with increasing the expense of spodumene. Meanwhile, the crystal size can be positively related with the content of Li2O. The preferable admixed dosage of spodumene can be obtained, besides the strength of glass-ceramics can be more than 90 MPa.

Several ABO3perovskite ferroelectric crystals, PbTiO3, Pb(Zr, Ti)O3, and BaTiO3have beenin situgrown from amorphous gels with glass elements, and the structural evolution has been systematically investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectra (IR), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dielectric measurements. It is found that in the Si-contained glass-ceramic systems, Si and B glass elements are incorporated into the crystalline structures, resulting in the variation of the crystallization process, change of lattice constant, and dielectric properties. Some metastable phases expressed by a general formula AxByGzOw(A = Pb and Ba; B = Zr and Ti; G for glass elements, especially for Si) have been observed and discussed.

Amorphous Cr–C alloy coating was prepared by electrodepositing. The microhardness of the coating was tested after annealing from 100°C to 800°C and the crystallization evolution was studied by the analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning caborimetry (DSC). The results showed that the crystallization evolution of the coating began at 300°C and finished around 450°C, and intermetallic compound Cr7C3and Cr23C6appeared when heat treatment temperature reached around 600°C. The microhardness, corrosion resistance as well as the adhesion of the coating all increased first with the temperature and then dropped until it attained the proper values. The microhardness reached the maximum of 1610HV0.025at 600°C. While the corrosion resistance and the adhesion force attained the peak value at about 400°C.
