Abstract
The crystallization behaviour of lithia-alumina-silica glasses with
0-19 wt% zirconia was studied by X-ray diffraction, differential
thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The principal crystalline
phases were identified as lithium metasilicate and cubic or tetragonal
zirconia, as also a lithium aluminium silicate (,8-spodumene). The
addition of zirconia to the glass changed the crystallization behaviour
and transition temperature of the glasses.
