Concepts of Glass-Ceramics

  • Conference paper
Book cover Introduction to Glass Science

Abstract

It has been pointed out in previous sections1 that, while cooling from the melting temperature, all liquids traverse a temperature range in which the liquid becomes thermodynamically unstable with respect to one or more crystalline phases. Whether or not crystals will form as a result of this instability is dependent on the rate of cooling and the kinetics of crystallization of the particular crystalline species that are involved.
