Abstract:

Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics doped with Nd2O3 were prepared by the melting method. The effects of Nd2O3 on the crystallization behavior of Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics were studied by DTA, XRD and SEM. With the increase of Nd2O3 content, the glass crystallization temperature arised. The SEM result indicates that the main crystal phase of Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics doped with Nd2O3 is β-quartz solid solution, for without doping Nd2O3 it is β-spodumene solid solution. These results shows that the crystallization temperature increases significantly by doping Nd2O3, and phase transition from β-quartz to β-spodumene is suppressed. The grain size increases with the increase of Nd2O3 content.
