Abstract

Glasses of compositions 50.4B2O3 - 30SiO2- \((19.6-x)\) Li2O - \(x\) Fe2O3, \(x\) = (0 ≤ \(x\) ≤ 2) were fabricated with molar fraction utilizing the conventional process. Amorphous status was demonstrated by X-ray diffractograms. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of high-density glasses by substituting Li2O with Fe2O3. The fabricated glass’s thermal characteristics were investigated using a differential thermal analysis (DTA). The DTA results revealed that the investigated samples have excellent thermal stability, indicating that they are resistant to devitrification. In this study, the Hurby parameter was also computed as a strong indicator of a glass material’s glass-forming ability. Fe2O3 doping was reported to have a significant impact on the mechanical characteristics. The density and elastic moduli characteristics of the manufactured glasses were reported to be superior.
