Abstract

The formation of high titanium oxide (30–60 wt%) containing glasses was studied. Stable titanate glasses with high content of TiO 2 and BaO could be obtained even without other glass-forming oxides. It is demonstrated that the coloration of titanate glasses with high content of TiO 2 is due to oxygen loss during the melting. A systematic study of controlling melting and heat treatment conditions led to the successful decoloration of titanium oxide containing glasses. Infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction studies showed that Ti 4+ in titanate glasses is in sixfold coordination. Phase separation was observed by electron microscopy when the titanate glasses were heat-treated at the temperature above T g. The crystallization of titanate glasses is generally preceded by phase separation. The obtained crystalline phases are mainly different titanates.
