The role of Cr2O3, LiF and their mixtures on crystalline phase formation and microstructure in Ba, Ca, Mg aluminosilicate glass

Abstract

We investigate the various effects of different additions of the nucleating agents Cr 2 O 3 and LiF, separately and as mixtures, on the crystallizability, phase assemblages, isomorphism and polymorphism of the crystallizing pyroxenes or celsians, respectively, and on the resultant microstructures
