Abstract
Foaming and crystallisation behaviours of compacted glass powders based on a diopside glass–ceramic composition were investigated using the sintering route. The foaming agent was 2wt.% SiC particles. The effect of PbO on the foaming ability of glasses was investigated. The results showed that the addition of PbO not only improved the foaming ability, by improving the wettability of the glass–SiC particles but also increased the crystallisation temperature and widened the temperature interval between the dilatometric softening point and the onset of crystallisation. The glass–SiC wetting angle was decreased from 85° for the lead-free glass, to 55° for the glass that contains 15wt.% PbO.
