Abstract
This study investigated the effect of vanadium oxide on the crystallization of CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CAS) glass. Specifically, this study subjected CAS glass-ceramics (GCs) with precipitated hexagonal platy particles of metastable CaAl2Si2O8 (CAS GC-H), a layered crystal, that was prepared using metallic molybdenum (Mo) particles as nucleation agents. When the parent glass of CAS GC-H was crystallized with the addition of vanadium oxide in the 0.052-0.21 wt % range, the obtained platy particles of metastable CaAl2Si2O8 displayed an increase in the aspect ratio from 20 to 15 compared with conventional CAS GC-Hs. In addition, no crystallization occurred in the CAS glass with vanadium oxide in the 0.052-0.21 wt % range in the absence of metallic Mo particles. Meanwhile, a CAS glass containing 1.0 wt % vanadium oxide without the addition of metallic Mo particles showed the precipitation of metastable CaAl2Si2O8. Therefore, these results indicated that the aspect ratio of layered crystals in glass was controlled by the addition of a relatively small content of vanadium oxide, and a new nucleation agent for the precipitation of metastable CaAl2Si2O8 in CAS glass using a relatively high content of vanadium oxide was developed.
