Use of the Anion Structure Coefficient in Developing Glass Ceramic Materials

Anion structure coefficients (ASC) are given for solid solutions synthesized on the basis of stoichiometric compositions with a ratio of Li₂O : Al₂O₃ : SiO₂ equal to 1 : 1 : 4 – 1 : 1 : 12. A fundamental possibility of selecting the residual vitreous phase and predicting the process of sintering of glass powders by calculating the ASC of the initial compositions and the residual vitreous phase in developing glass ceramic materials with preset properties is demonstrated.
