Abstract

Phase transformations upon crystallization of glasses in a magnesium-aluminosilicate system nucleated with TiO2 as a nucleating agent, both doped and undoped with yttrium oxide, which were thermally treated in singleand two-stage modes in the temperature range 750–1200°C, have been investigated. Use of the two-stage mode with the first stage (nucleation) at 750°C yields changes in the phase composition and the temperature range of the existence of the metastable crystalline phases formed within the 800–1000°C range. At the highest thermal treatment temperature (1200°C), one observes crystallization of phases that are stable ones for this particular glass composition, irrespective of the existence of the nucleation stage. Doping with Y2O3 significantly affects the character of liquid phase separation and crystallization through the increase of the temperature of formation of the first crystalline phases. There appear yttrium-containing phases—yttrium disilicate and titanate. The mechanism of the effect of yttrium oxide on the phase separation processes has been suggested.
