Zinc Silicate

A new transparent zinc silicate glass-ceramic was derived from the 55ZnO–5B2O3–40SLS glass system via a controlled heat-treatment method. The precursor glass sample was placed through the heat-treatment process at different temperatures to study the progress in phase transformation, optical performance and emission intensity of the zinc silicate glass-ceramics. For this project, material characterization was measured through several tests using densimeter and linear shrinkage measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared reflection (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The density and linear shrinkage measurements show that the density of the particular glass-ceramic samples increases with the progression of heating temperature. The XRD analysis displays the result in which the zinc silicate crystal starts to grow after the sample was treated at 700 °C. In addition, the FTIR spectra indicated that the crystallization of the zinc silicate phase occurred with the appearance of SiO4, ZnO4 and Si-O-Zn bands. UV–visible exhibited the small changes when the value for the optical band gap decreased from 3.867 to 3.423 eV, influenced by the temperature applied to the sample. Furthermore, the PL spectroscopy showed an enhancement of broad green emission at 534 nm upon the increased heat-treatment temperature. Thus, it can be concluded there is the progression of crystal growth as the heat-treatment temperature increased; three emission peaks appeared at 529, 570 and 682 nm for the green, yellow and red emissions, respectively.

Microwave Applications

A castable, low melting temperature glass-ceramic system (30% Bi 2 O 3, 30% Nb 2 O 5, 30% B 2 O 3 and 10% SiO 2, in mol%) suitable for microwave applications is fabricated and characterized. Depending on heat treatment temperature, the glass ceramic exhibits permittivity, 15 ≤ ε r ≤ 41, temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of -160 ≤ τ f ≤ +100 MK -1 and microwave quality factor of 300 GHz ≤ Qf ≤ 15000 GHz . The highest Qf occurs at 960°C heat treatment with ε r = 15, τ f = -80 MK -1 and Qf = 15000 GHz . Applications are envisaged such as castable dielectrically-loaded antenna pucks, removing the need for complex ceramic processing.

Willemite glass-ceramics were successfully derived from conventional melt-quench ZnO-SLS precursor glass by an isothermal heat treatment process. The effect of heat treatment temperatures on the physical properties was investigated by Archimedes principle and linear shrinkage. The generation of willemite crystal phase and morphology with increase in heat treatment temperature was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) techniques. X-ray diffraction revealed that the metastableβ-Zn2SiO4and thermodynamically stable zinc orthosilicateα-Zn2SiO4phases can be observed at temperatures above 700°C. The experimental results indicated that the density and shrinkage of the glass-ceramic vary with increasing the sintering temperature. FTIR studies showed that the structure of glass-ceramic consists of SiO2and ZnO4units and exhibits the structural evolution of willemite glass-ceramics. The characteristic of strong vibrational bands can be related to theSiO44-tetrahedron corresponding to reference spectra of willemite.

Glass composition 39PbO–1BaO–25TiO2–9.8Al2O3–24.2SiO2–1B2O3 (mol%) crystallized on heat treatment at ≥600 °C to form glass-ceramics whose majority phase was PbTiO3 (PT). At 600 °C, nano-size PT crystals (∼20–50 nm) with a c/a ratio of 1.000(1) were observed, but as heat-treatment temperature increased to 1000 °C, the crystal size and c/a ratio increased to ∼1.2 μm and 1.056(4), respectively. Permittivity measurements as a function of temperature revealed a broad peak at ∼400 °C associated with the nanocrystalline PT crystals, but it sharpened and increased in temperature as heat treatment temperature increased to 1000 °C. The causes of peak broadening and shift of Tc are believed to be due to either clamping of PT crystals by glass matrix, finite size effects due to their intrinsically small size, or the incorporation of dopant impurities such as Al, Si, or Ba ions in the PT phase.

Amorphous Coatings

Fe-based amorphous coatings have many excellent performances, such as good corrosion resistance, high hardness, satisfactory magnetism, etc. In this paper, Fe-P amorphous coatings were prepared by electrodeposition method, and the phase transformation, microstructure, and hardness of the coatings heated at different heat-treatment temperature were investigated. The results show that Fe-P amorphous coatings begin to crystallize when heated at 300°C, the α-Fe(P) solid solution appears when heated at 330°C, and FexP(X=1,2,3) compounds separate out from the solid solution when heat-treatment temperature is up to 370°C. During the process of heat-treatment, hardness of the Fe-P coating increases as the reinforcement result of solid solution and dispersed phase in the coatings, and the hardness reaches the maximum 1100 HV at 370°C. When heat-treatment temperature is higher than 460°C, dispersed phase in the coatings will grow up, which is called Ostwald Coarsening Phenomenon, and hardness of the coating decreases quickly.
