The devitrification of PbO-B2O3-ZnO glass doped with Li2O

In this paper the effect of the addition of Li2O on the crystallization behavior of PbO-B2O3-ZnO glass was investigated by the differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) methods. The crystallization ability, as well as the crystalline phases which develop during devitrification of the glass were examined. The results of DTA and XRPD analysis showed that the addition of Li2O varies the sequence of the crystallization as well as the phase composition of the crystalline phase. The glasses with Li2O crystallize at a lower temperature (360°C) with 4Li2O.4ZnO.3B2O3 as the major crystalline phase. The base PbO-B2O3-ZnO glass crystallizes at 480°C with PbO.2ZnO.B2O2 as the major crystalline phase.
