Crystallization Process and Some Properties of Li 2 O-SiO 2 Glass-Ceramics Doped with Al 2 O 3 and K 2 O (original) (raw)

Abstract

We report on the role of Al2O3 and K2O on crystallization in glasses featuring a SiO2/Li2O ratio (3.13 to 4.88) far beyond that of lithium disilicate (LD, Li2Si2O5) stoichiometry. Glasses in both bulk and frit form were produced by the conventional melt-quenching technique. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed surface nucleation as the dominant crystallization mechanism in glass–ceramics (GCs) derived from bulk glasses richer in Al2O3 and K2O in the temperature range 800°–900°C and dendritic skeletal surface growth of lithium metasilicate crystalline phase (LS,Li2SiO3). The glasses with lower amounts of Al2O3 and K2O showed an intermediate type of crystallization mechanism (simultaneous surface and volume nucleation) resulting in the preferential formation of Li2Si2O5. The formation of LD GCs by sintering and the crystallization of glass-powder frits seems to occur via the precursor phase of LS, resulting in high-strength materials.
