Abstract

The critical cooling rate, R_c, for glass formation and the kinetics of crystallization of the compositions 18.4CaO-(81.6 - X)Ga₂O₃-XSiO₂ (in wt%), with X=3, 6, 9, and 13.8, were studied by using a thermal image furnace. Crystallization was studied nonisothermally and the data were analyzed by using the Avrami equation. The R_c and activation energy for crystallization both decrease with increasing silica content. The results obtained by the present technique agree with those obtained from DTA measurements.
