Investigation of BaSO4-KPO3-Na2B4O7 Low-Melting Glass System as a Basis for Synthesis of a Glass-Solder Material
The possibility of using the compositions of BaSO4-KPO3-Na2B4O7 system as a glass-solder (frit) material was shown. A glass formation region has been established in BaSO4-KPO3-Na2B4O7 system which is located in the borate-phosphate part of the concentration triangle and occupies ~41% of the triangle area. The concentration dependences of linear thermal expansion coefficient (TCLE), the softening temperature and the glass transition temperature was determined and discussed. It is established that the glass formation region, the concentration dependences of TCLE and technological temperatures values are significantly closer to those for CaSO4-KPO3-Na2B4O7 system than for MgSO4-KPO3-Na2B4O7 system. That may point out at the similar effect barium sulphate and calcium sulphate doping in the sulphate-phosphate-borate systems.
