Abstract

The variation of a number of physical properties of certain transparent glass-ceramic compositions as a function of the crystallization heat treatment is reported. The properties studied include thermal expansion, hardness, mechanical strength and transmission in the visible and near infra-red regions. It is shown for one of the spinel transparent glass-ceramics chosen for a detailed investigation, that most of the properties are dependent on the microstructural effects.
