Abstract
The influence of barium oxide, heat treatment time and temperature on the crystallization, microstructure and mechanical behavior of the system Ba x ·K 1−2 x ·Mg 3·Al·Si 3O 10·F 2 (where x = 0.0, 0.3 and 0.5) was investigated in order to develop novel, high strength and machinable glass–ceramics. Three glasses were prepared and characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques and some mechanical testing methods. The crystallization kinetics of glass–ceramics was also studied. Activation energy and Avrami exponent calculated for the crystallization peak temperature ( T p) of three different glass batches. The Vickers hardness decreased slightly on formation of the potassium fluorophlogopite and barium fluorophlogopite phases, but decreased significantly on formation of an interconnected ‘house of cards’ microstructure.
