Abstract

The liquidus temperature and induction periods were measured for crystallization in a system of calcium nitrate, calcium chloride, and water over a concentration range of 5–20 mole% Ca(II), i.e., R=4–18 [R=moles H2O/moles Ca(II)] and ycl=0–1 [ycl=moles Cl/moles (NO 3 +Cl)]. A ternary phase diagram was constructed, and qualitative dependences of the supercooling at which the solution began to crystallize on the system composition were found. A wide range of stability toward crystallization was found for solutions withR=4–10 and ycl=0–0.7 The relationships between the system stability toward crystallization and the viscosity, glass-transition temperature, and the liquidus temperature are discussed.
