Abstract

An equation expressing the volume fraction,x, of crystals precipitating in a glass heated at a constant rate, α, was derived. When crystal particles grow m-dimensionally,x is expressed as In [- ln(1 -x)] = -n (nα - 1.052mE/RT + Constant whereE is the activation energy for crystal growth andn is a numerical factor depending on the nucleation process. When the nuclei formed during the heating at the constant rate,α, are dominant,n is equal tom + 1, and when the nuclei formed in the previous heat-treatment before thermal analysis run are dominant,n is equal tom. The validity and usefulness of this equation was ascertained by applying it to a Li2O·2SiO2 glass. A method for determining the values ofn andm from DSC curves was proposed and it was concluded that the modified Ozawa-type plot is very useful and convenient to obtain the activation energy for crystal growth.
