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.

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.

Abstract Text:The crystallization of (9-X) K2O-1Li2O-12MgO-10B2O3-40SiO2-16Al2O3-12MgF2-X PbO/BaO/ZnO (X =0/5) composition (wt.%) were studied by means of dilatometry, DSC, XRD, SEM and microhardness analysis. Density of base K-Li-Mg-B-Si-Al-F glass (2.59 g.cm–3) is found to be increased on addition of the network modifier oxides PbO, BaO and ZnO content. Addition of Pb2+, Ba2+ and Zn2+ furthermore increased the glass transition temperature (Tg.). A characteristic exothermic hump is found to be appeared in DSC thermograph at the temperature range 800-950°C; and that is ascribed to the formation of crystalline phase fluorophlogopite mica, KMg3(AlSi3O10)F2. Opaque glass-ceramics were prepared from K-Li-Mg-B-Si-Al-F glasses (with and without containing PbO, BaO and ZnO content) by controlled heat-treatment at 1000°C. Interlocked type microstructure combined of flake like fluorophlogopite mica crystals is obtained in ZnO-containing K-Li-Mg-B-Si-Al-F glass-ceramic; and such microstructural pattern is ascribed to cause large thermal-expansion (>11.5×10-6/K, 50-800°C).Vickers Microhardness of base glass-ceramic (5.12 GPa) is increased when contains ZnO (5.26 GPa). ZnO-containing boroaluminosilicate glass-ceramic is, hence, considered with potential interest as they can exhibit the microcrack resistivity in high temperature recycling operation (like SOFC).

A castable, low melting temperature glass-ceramic system (30% Bi 2 O 3, 30% Nb 2 O 5, 30% B 2 O 3 and 10% SiO 2, in mol%) suitable for microwave applications is fabricated and characterized. Depending on heat treatment temperature, the glass ceramic exhibits permittivity, 15 ≤ ε r ≤ 41, temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of -160 ≤ τ f ≤ +100 MK -1 and microwave quality factor of 300 GHz ≤ Qf ≤ 15000 GHz . The highest Qf occurs at 960°C heat treatment with ε r = 15, τ f = -80 MK -1 and Qf = 15000 GHz . Applications are envisaged such as castable dielectrically-loaded antenna pucks, removing the need for complex ceramic processing.

The LAS glass containing P2O5has been prepared by conventional molten quenching method. The influence of heat treatment conditions on crystallization behavior, including phase transformation and microstructure, and thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of Li2O–Al2O3–SiO2(LAS) glass-ceramics were investigated. DSC, XRD, SEM and TEC were used to detect the microstructure and properties of glass-ceramics under the different heat-treatment conditions. The results show the virgilite crystalline separated firstly from the matrix glass when heat treatment temperature was 850 °C. As the heat treatment temperature increased from 850 °C to 1050 °C, virgilite and β-spodumene were identified as main crystal phases. The TEC of glass-ceramics ranges from 0.5×10-6 °C-1to 2.8×10-6 °C-1, which is much lower than that of matrix glass.

Leucite crystal was prepared using SiO2-Al2O3-K2CO3-Na2CO3as raw materials and adopting melt quenching and appropriate heat treatment temperatures. The crystal was characterized and analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and biocompatibility. The results showed that appropriate Na2O could advance the growth of leucite, but high concentration facilitates the formation of KAlSiO4crystal. The coefficient of thermal expansion was 24.52×10-6/°C at 600 °C, and thereby the coefficient could be adjusted by adding appropriate amount of leucite. The biocompatibility of leucite was almost the same as the Songfeng powder for clinical applications.

Dark brown glasses were prepared from residues of basalt quarries and wastes of ceramic factories. Addition of CaF2, Cr2O3 and their mixture CaF2-Cr2O3 were used as nucleation catalysts. Generally, structures with augite and anorthite as major phases and small amount of magnetite and olivine phases were developed through the crystallization process. In the samples heat treated at 900?C the dominant phase is augite, whereas the content of anorthite usually overcomes the augite at higher temperature (1100?C). Fine to medium homogenous microstructures were detected in the prepared glass-ceramic samples. The coefficient of thermal expansion and microhardnessmeasurements of the glass-ceramic samples were from 6.16?10-6 to 8.96?10-6?C-1 (in the 20-500?C) and 5.58 to 7.16GP, respectively.

The glass-ceramics, whose coefficient of thermal expansion approximately matched to that of silicon, were studied to replace conventional heat-resistant glass as substrate material for anodic bonding. The basic glasses of the Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 system with TiO2 and ZrO2 as nucleation agents were prepared by melting technology, and the temperatures of nucleation and crystallization were determined. The glass-ceramics were obtained by two-step heat-treatment method. The oriented crystallization of glasses in gradient temperature field was studied. The crystal phases and microstructures of glass- ceramics were analyzed. Effect of heat-treatment schedule on the coefficient of thermal expansion was discussed. The results showed that the most of the main crystal phases of the samples were β-spodumene. The coefficient of thermal expansion of sample was about 32.5×10-7/°C, which was approach to that of silicon.
