摘要:
The glass-ceramic disclosed is characterized by a lithium aluminosilicate crystal phase having a very low coefficient of thermal expansion and a residual glassy phase of substantial amount and higher coefficient of expansion, usually a borosilicate or boroaluminosilicate glass. The two phases form a dilatant system wherein the thermal expansion curve changes markedly in character at a transition point in the range of 500.degree.-750.degree. C., the crystal phase dominating below that temperature and the glass phase controlling at higher temperatures.

摘要:
The instant invention to the manufacture of articles exhibiting the highly-crystalline, uniformly fine-grained microstructure of conventional glass-ceramic bodies, but which can be formed spontaneously through cooling a molten glass-forming batch. Hence, the articles of the present invention are not produced by heat treating glass bodies at elevated temperatures to cause crystallization in situ as is required in the manufacture of the classic glass-ceramic articles. Instead, this invention provides a method for spontaneously-forming glass-ceramic articles having compositions within a narrowly-defined area of the Li.sub.2 O-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -B.sub.2 O.sub.3 -SiO.sub.2 -TiO.sub.2 field wherein alpha-quartz solid solution constitutes the predominant crystal phase.

摘要:
This invention is concerned with the production of glass-ceramic articles wherein phlogopite mica solid solution and beta-spodumene solid solution comprise the primary crystal phases. Such articles demonstrate good machineability characteristics along with low coefficients of thermal expansion, excellent thermal shock resistance, and relatively high refractoriness.
摘要:
This invention is concerned with glass-ceramic articles having compositions within a very narrowly-delimited area of the MgO-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -B.sub.2 O.sub.3 -SiO.sub.2 field and having alpha-quartz and sapphirine as the principal crystal phases, resulting from nucleation through a combination of TiO.sub.2 and ZrO.sub.2. Upon contacting such articles with lithium ions at an elevated temperature, said lithium ions will replace magnesium ions on a two Li.sup.+-for-one Mg.sup..sup.+2 basis within the crystal structures, thereby providing a unitary glass-ceramic article having an integral surface layer wherein the principal crystal phase is a lithium-stuffed beta-quartz solid solution. That transformation of crystal phases results in compressive stresses being set up within the surface layer as the articles are cooled. Through the careful control of composition, crystallization treatment, and the parameters of the replacement reaction in the crystal structures, a tremendous degree of stored elastic energy can be developed within the articles such that they will demonstrate frangibility when fractured but will not exhibit undesirable spontaneous breakage and/or spalling.
