Abstract

To determine the influence of volume constraint, the crystallization behavior of bulk anorthite glass was compared with that of anorthite glass situated at intergranular pockets in an alumina ceramic. Near-100% crystallization of the glass was obtained in both cases. Examination of the crystallized microstructures using SEM and TEM revealed several interesting features. The resulting microstructures, together with the very high degree of crystallization, are discussed with reference to a thermodynamic model for the constrained crystallization of glass.
