Abstract
Peraluminous Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 (LAS) glasses with elevated ration of alumina up to 18 Mol% were synthesized by melt-quenching and the corresponding colorless transparent glass-ceramics free of nucleating agents were prepared through two-step heat-treatment. Increasing Al2O3 substitution for CaO, MgO, ZnO elevates the glass transition temperature and crystallization temperature as well as stability of glass due to enhanced Si(Al)-O network. The crystallinity and Al/Si ratio of nanoscale LAS crystallites precipitated from the glass matrix increase with Al2O3 ration. Phase separation of Si rich and Si(Al)-Li rich percolation regions induced by the abundant and mobile Li+ is proposed to interpret the crystallization mechanism. The visible light transmittance of glass and glass-ceramics decrease with Al2O3 ration and exceed 85 % for Al2O3 below 14 Mol%. Hardness and wear resistance of the glass-ceramics are evidently superior to those of the corresponding precursor glasses and increase with Al2O3 content.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
