Abstract: | Effects of ZrO2, La2O3, CeO2, Yb2O3 and V2O5 on the crystallization kinetics, microstructure and mechanical properties of mica glass–ceramics were investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microhardness tester. Results show that bulk crystallization can be obtained by introducing proper nucleation agents into the glass. Both Ozawa method and Kissinger method are suitable for analyzing the crystallization kinetics of mica glass–ceramic. The addition of nucleation agents has little influence on the value of n, keeping two-dimensional crystal growth mechanism. ZrO2 and V2O5 are best nucleation agents in mica system. The increase of crystallization temperature is helpful for the increase of aspect ratio, and the microstructure of the glass–ceramics becomes interconnected, which contributes the improvement of the machinability of the glass–ceramics. Microhardness (Hv), cutting energy (μ1) and machinability parameter (m) can be used for estimating the machinability of mica glass–ceramics. |
