Effect of Li₂O on Viscosity and Thermal Expansion of Silicate Glass

Abstract:

_{Subscript text}Viscosity, coefficient of thermal expansion, glass transition temperature and dilatometric softening temperature of soda-lime-silicate glass doped with Li₂O were investigated by the rotating crucible viscometer and dilatometry, the melting temperature and activation energy for viscous flow of the studied melt were derived on the basis of Arrhenius Equation, in order to reveal the effects of Li₂O on the properties of soda-lime-silicate glass. The results showed that the viscosity of soda-lime-silicate glass was effectively decreased and the melting temperature decreased from 1457°C to 1420°C with the increase of Li₂O from 0 to 1.0wt%, furthermore, the T_g and T_s reduced 30~40°C. The ΔT responded to the range of viscosity of glass formation (η=10³-10⁷Pa•s) increased from 309.84°C to 313.45°C, and the activation energy for viscous flow decreased form 178.47 kJ•mol^-1 to 168.34 kJ•mol^-1. The CTE α _{(25～400°C)} of specimen doped with 0.4% Li2O was 92.048×10^-6°C^-1 and the lowest of the samples.
