A. Buch et I. Belov, PHASE-COMPOSITION AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF GLASS-CERAMICS FOR TILES BASED ON ISRAELI BASALTS, Glass technology, 36(5), 1995, pp. 163-165
The influence of F-, TiO2 and P2O5 dopants on crystal formation, phase
composition and microstructure of basaltic glass ceramics was investi
gated. It was observed that P2O5 had a negative influence on the cryst
allisation process. F- moved the temperature of the initial crystallis
ation to a lower temperature. TiO2 did not seem to have any influence
on the phase formation. These additives were found to have a very slig
ht influence on the final microstructure.
