The feasibility of developing glass-ceramic glaze in the system KNaO-CaO-MgO-ZnO with a variation in the composition of SiO2, TiO2, and B2O3 was studied. The SiO2, TiO2, and B2O3 were varied in the amount of 2.25-1.50, 0.001-0.10, and 0-0.1 molar equivalents respectively. The samples were one fired at 1180°C or double fired by reheat at the crystallization temperature for 10 minutes. The gloss, sintering behavior, phase, microstucture, and hardness, and were examined by glossmeter, side-view hot stage microscope, X-ray diffraction, SEM, and Vickers hardness respectively. The results showed the importance effect of SiO2, TiO2, and B2O3 on the glaze crystallization ability and its properties. At the fix value of Al2O3 at 0.24 molar equivalents and with the 0.001-0.10 molar equivalents of TiO2, lower the SiO2 content to 1.50 molar equivalents increased the glaze crystallization potential. An increase in the B2O3 to 0.1 molar equivalents suppressed the potential of glaze crystallization. The phases of samples were amorphous or composed of silicon dioxide and diopside as the main phases depending on the glaze composition and the firing history. In this study, the glaze appearances transparent to opaque and varied from gloss to matte with the specular gloss values between 23-100 GU. All samples appeared to have high Vickers hardness value in the range of 553-644. The crystallization decreased the gloss but increased the hardness value for the 2.25 molar equivalents SiO2 glaze. Finally, a composition with high hardness and high gloss was identified and its properties was also presented. These results suggested the limitation and the potential for applying this glass-ceramic glaze system to industry applications.

The effects of Al2O3 on the crystallization behavior of glass compositions in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2 system were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Effect of Al2O3 content on the mechanical, density, phase formation and microstructures of Na2O-CaO–P2O5–Al2O3-SiO2 glass ceramics were studied. Thermal parameters of each glass were studied by DTA. The density of the glass ceramic samples was measured by Archimedes’ method. It was found that the glass–ceramic containing 2.0 molar percent Al2O3 had desirable sintering behavior and reached to an acceptable density. Phase investigation and micro structural study were performed by XRD and SEM, respectively.

Aluminum (Al)-stainless steel 316L (SUS316L) composites were successfully fabricated by the spark plasma sintering process (SPS) using pure Al and SUS316L powders as raw materials. The Al-SUS316L composite powder comprising Al with 50 vol.% of SUS316L was prepared by a ball milling process. Subsequently, it was sintered at 630 °C at a pressure of 200 MPa and held for 5 min in a semisolid state. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns show that intermetallic compounds such as Al13Fe4 and AlFe3 were created in the Al-SUS316L composite because the Al and SUS316L particles reacted together during the SPS process. The presence of these intermetallic compounds was also confirmed by using XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and EDS mapping. The mechanical hardness of the Al-SUS316L composites was analyzed by a Vickers hardness tester. Surprisingly, the Al-SU316L composite exhibited a Vickers hardness of about 620 HV. It can be concluded that the Al-SUS316L composites fabricated by the SPS process are lightweight and high-hardness materials that could be applied in the engineering industry such as in automobiles, aerospace, and shipbuilding.

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.

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.

The crystallization behavior of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics by sol-gel technology was investigated by using x-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that: (1)α-cordierite phase was precipitated when the green body was calcined at 1050°C, and α-cordierite of high purity and stability could be formed at 1100°C; (2) Adding an appropriate amount of low melting point glass powder into the green body may provide liquid-phase environment during the sintering process, which will help enhance the tightness density of glass-ceramic, and thus improve its flexural strength.

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.

CaO-A12O3-SiO2 (CAS) system glass-ceramics were prepared by sintering with certain amount of yellow phosphorus slag. The effects of phosphorus and fluorine on the nucleation, crystallization and structure of CAS system glass-ceramics were investigated by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and other measuring methods. Glass-ceramics of CAS system with 42.32wt% yellow phosphorus slag were obtained by nucleating at 615°C for 1 hour and crystallizing at 926°C for 2 hours. The results showed that the introduction of phosphorus and fluorine promoted the nucleation and crystallization of glass-ceramics, lowering the crystallizing temperature. The main crystal phase of glass-ceramics was β-wollastonite. The density of the glass-ceramic was 2.695g/cm3.

Synthesis And Processing

ABSTRACTLithium Aluminum Silicate (LAS) glass-ceramic compositions with and without phosphorous have been synthesized by Sol-Gel techniques. Resulting LAStype powders are herein designated as NZ and NZP. X-Ray analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), particle size measurements, and thermal dilatometric shrinkage measurements have been performed on these samples. The NZ and NZP powders in calcined form, as well as commercially-available LAS glass-ceramic produce x-ray diffraction pattern very similar to the pattern of Virgilite LixAlxSi3−xO6 (x=0.5–1.0). There is little difference between powders with and without phosphorous in the diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). Preliminary results show that the material can be easily processed into glass ceramics.

New nuclear glass-ceramics are extensively studied for the radioactive waste confinement, due to the double confinement conferred by the glass-ceramics. In this study, a glass-ceramic constituted by an aluminosilicate glass in the system: SiO2-Al2O3-CaO-MgOZrO2-TiO2, containing 2wt.% of Ca0.83Ce0.17ZrTi1.66Al0.34O7 zirconolite, has been synthesized by the discontinuous method. Cerium, an actinide surrogate is introduced both in the glass and ceramic phases. The synthesis is performed by a double melting at 1350?C, followed by a nucleation at 564?C, during 2 h, and a crystal growth at 1010?C during 3 h. Then effect of Ca/Mg ratio on the distribution of the crystalline network in the material was studied for Ca / Mg ratios ranging from 0.4 to 5.5. For the whole of the materials, Archimedes density is about 2.80 g/cm3. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that the increase of Ca/Mg ratio leads to the increase of aluminosilicated crystalline phases with high Ca contents; the materials molar volumes remaining constant. The zirconolite phase is not affected by these additive aluminosilicated phases. The scanning electron microscopy analysis (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis confirmed these results; and shows the uniformity of distribution of the ceramics in the bulk of the materials.
