Crystallization Kinetics of β-Spodumene/Cordierite-Based Glass-Ceramics

Abstract:

This work aims to investigate the crystallization kinetics of β-spodumene/cordierite glass-ceramics. Thus, three glasses with compositions based predominantly on cordierite (C), β-spodumene (L) and in a molar ratio 1:1 of both phases (CL) were prepared. The kinetics parameters such as activation energy for crystallization (ranging from 160 to 358 kJ/mol) and Avrami exponent (ranging from 1.4 to 10.7) were determined by means of non-isothermal methods using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Additionally, the samples were crystalized according to DSC analyses and characterized by using x-ray diffraction (XRD). The main detected crystalline phases were β-spodumene to the glass L, cordierite to the glass C and β-quartz, mulite and spinel to the glass CL. Considering the thermal and electrical properties of these crystalline phases, these glass-ceramics have potential use for LTCC (Low Thermal Co-fired Ceramics) applications.
