Abstract

We experimentally investigate the effect of crystals on the fragmentation behavior of a three-phase (melt+gas+crystals) system under rapid decompression. Starting materials are cylinders of hydrated haplogranite melts containing alumina crystals that are placed at 6-30 MPa and 600-800°C in a fragmentation bomb for foaming. Subsequently, these bubble- and crystal-bearing melts are rapidly decompressed (within 30 MPa for phenocryst- and microlite-bearing samples.
