Up to now, oriented surface crystallization phenomena are discussed controversially, and related studies are restricted to few glasses. For silicate glasses we found a good correlation between the calculated surface energy of crystal faces and oriented surface nucleation. Surface energies were estimated assuming that crystal surfaces resemble minimum energy crack paths along the given crystal plane. This concept was successfully applied by Rouxel in calculating fracture surface energies of glasses. Several oriented nucleation phenomena can be herby explained assuming that high energy crystal surfaces tend to be wetted by the melt. This would minimize the total interfacial energy of the nucleus. Furthermore, we will discuss the evolution of the microstructure and its effect on the preferred crystal orientation.

Overview about the key activities of division 5.6 glass and the diversity of the material glass. For the vacuum hot extraction method (VHE-MS) some examples are presented e. g. for the measurement of water content or the determination of diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in glasses. Finally, an outlook is shown on the robot controlled glass screening device which will be available next year.
Up to now, oriented surface crystallization phenomena are discussed controversially, and related studies are restricted to few glasses. The vast majority of previous work does not consider possible effects of surface preparation and surrounding atmosphere. Moreover, very few observations of surface crystal orientation were made on separately grown crystals.
The aim of our project is to advance the basic understanding of oriented surface crystallization, e.g. whether preferred orientation of surface crystals results from oriented nucleation or reorientation mechanisms during early crystal growth. In both cases, crystal orientation may reflect the orientation of the glass surface or that of anisotropic active surface nucleation sites. Therefore, we focus on orientation of surface crystals separately growing under controlled conditions.
First results on diopside (MgCaSi2O6) and walstromite (BaCa2Si3O9) crystals growing from 18BaO·22CaO·60SiO2 and MgO·CaO·2SiO2 glass surfaces, respectively, indicate that different orientation mechanisms may occur.
Neighbored walstromite crystals were found to gradually reorient themselves when they are going to impinge each other during stepwise isothermal treatments (log η = 4,5 Pa*s) of polished glass samples. Nevertheless, no preferred crystal orientation was evident for separate crystals.
For diopside crystals growing from polished glass surfaces (1 μm diamond lapping foil), strong preferred orientation was observed for 3.5 to 85 min annealing at 850 °C. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) studies showed that the c-axis of surface crystals is oriented parallel to the glass surface and that separated diopside crystals as small as 600 nm are already oriented. Studies on glass surfaces, polished with diamond lapping foils starting from 16 μm down to 1 μm grain, revealed that crystal orientation may scatter arround this preferential orientation and that this scatter progressively decreases with decreasing polishing grain size.
Glass powders are promising candidates for manufacturing a broad diversity of sintered materials like sintered glass-ceramics, glass matrix composites, glass bonded ceramics or pastes. Powder processing, however, can substantially affect sinterability, e.g. by promoting surface crystallization. On the other hand, densification can be hindered by gas bubble formation for slow crystallizing glass powders. Against this background, we studied sintering and foaming of silicate glass powders with different crystallization tendency for wet milling and dry milling in air, Ar, N2, and CO2 by means of heating microscopy, DTA, Vacuum Hot Extraction (VHE), SEM, IR spectroscopy, XPS, and ToF-SIMS. In any case, foaming activity increased significantly with progressive milling. For moderately milled glass powders, subsequent storage in air could also promote foaming. Contrarily, foaming could be substantially reduced by milling in water and 10 wt% HCl. Although all powder compacts were uniaxially pressed and sintered in air, foaming was significantly affected by different milling atmosphere and was found most pronounced for milling in CO2 atmosphere. Conformingly, VHE studies revealed that foaming is mainly driven by carbonaceous species, even for powders milled in other gases. Current results of this study thus indicate that foaming is caused by carbonaceous species trapped on the glass powder surface.
Up to now, the mechanisms of surface nucleation and surface-induced texture formation are far from being understood. Corresponding phenomena are discussed hypothetically or even controversial, and related studies are restricted to very few glasses. In this talk the state of the art on mechanisms of surface nucleation are summarized. On one hand, mechanical damaged surfaces show high nucleation activity, at which the nucleation occurs at convex tips and edges preferentially. On the other hand, solid foreign particles are dominant nucleation sites at low damaged surfaces. They enable nucleation at temperatures even far above Tg. The nucleation activity of the particles is substantially controlled by their thermal and chemical durability. But no systematic studies on initially oriented crystal growth or nucleation from defined active nucleation sites have been pursued, so far. Therefore, the main objective of a just started project is to advance the basic understanding of the mechanisms of surface-induced microstructure formation in glass ceramics. We shall answer the question whether preferred orientation of surface crystals is the result of oriented nucleation or caused by other orientation selection mechanisms acting during early crystal growth. In both cases, crystal orientation may be caused by the orientation of the glass surface itself or the anisotropy and orientation of active surface nucleation defects. As a first attempt we focused on possible reorientation of separately growing surface crystals during early crystal growth. First results show clear evidence that separately growing crystals can reorient themselves as they are going to impinge each other.
Up to now, the mechanisms of surface nucleation and surface-induced texture formation are far from being understood. Corresponding phenomena are discussed hypothetically or even controversial, and related studies are restricted to very few glasses. As a main drawback, the vast majority of previous work on oriented growth of surface crystals do not consider the possible effects of glass surface treatments (like polishing defects, adhered particles and cracks, …) or ambient annealing conditions (vacuum or atmospheric pressure) which both can influence crystal nucleation and growth. Moreover, very few observations of crystal orientation related to surface crystallization were focused on separately growing crystals. In conclusion, up to now, no systematic studies on initially oriented crystal growth or nucleation from defined active nucleation sites have been pursued.
Therefore, the main objective of the proposed project is to gain a basic understanding of the mechanisms of surface-induced microstructure formation in glass ceramics. We shall answer the question whether preferred orientation of surface crystals is the result of oriented nucleation or caused by other orientation selection mechanisms acting during early crystal growth. In both cases, crystal orientation may be caused by the orientation of the glass surface itself or the anisotropy and orientation of active surface nucleation defects.
New techniques of experimental characterization of surface-crystallized glasses shall be applied to find answers to the questions posed above. Based on a controlled preparation and annealing of the glass sample surfaces, that includes the defined creation of active nucleation defects, and followed by the microstructural characterization especially during the very early growth stages of separated surface crystals, the orientation relations between defect and initiated surface crystal will be analyzed. In order to gain new insights, a couple of entirely new microstructure diagnostics techniques, including chemically contrasted XRM, laser-based sample preparation for XRM, and 3D electron backscatter diffraction shall be developed or applied.
This way, using X-ray microscopy as a pivotal technique for the non-destructive 3D characterization of relatively large samples at superior spatial resolution (but also complemented by other microstructure diagnostics techniques, e.g. TEM elemental mappings at cross-sectioned samples) unprecedented insights into the microstructure evolution upon surface crystallization of model glasses will be gained.
Wasser hat einen starken Einfluss auf die Depolymerisation des Glasnetzwerks silikatischer Gläser, was sich durch eine deutliche Senkung der Glasübergangstemperatur, Tg, bemerkbar macht. So hat Wasser einen großen Einfluss auf die Alterung, Ermüdung und das unterkritische Risswachstum in Gläsern. Sub-Tg Relaxationsphänomene spielen hier ebenfalls eine große Rolle, sind aber für Gläser mit hohen Gehalten an strukturell gebundenem Wasser kaum untersucht. In dieser Arbeit wurden daher Kalk-Natron-Silikat (NCS) und Natrium-Borosilikat (NBS) Gläser mit Wassergehalten von bis zu 8 Gew.% mittels Differentialthermoanalyse (DTA), Mikropenetration und vor allem dynamisch mechanischer Thermoanalyse (DMTA) zur Charakterisierung netzwerkbedingter Relaxationsmechanismen (alpha-Relaxation) im Bereich des Glasübergangs sowie weiterer schnellerer sub-Tg Relaxationsmechanismen (beta-, gamma-Relaxation) bei tieferen Temperaturen untersucht. Mit Hilfe der IR-Spektroskopie wurde der Gesamtwassergehalt und die Speziation des Wassers als molekulares Wasser oder als OH-Gruppe in den Gläsern bestimmt.
Für niedrige Wassergehalte treten zwei sub-Tg Verlustpeaks auf, die der Bewegung von Alkali bei tiefen Temperaturen (gamma-Relaxation) und einer kooperativen Bewegung verschiedener mobiler Spezies unter Beteiligung von OH bei höherer Temperatur (betaOH- Relaxation) zugeordnet werden können. Bei hohen Wassergehalten, bei denen ein messbarer Anteil an molekularem Wasser im Glas vorliegt, ist ein weiterer Verlustpeak zu beobachten, der mit der Bewegung von molekularem Wasser im Glasnetzwerk in Verbindung gebracht werden könnte (betaH2O-Relaxation).
Water plays an important role for the depolymerization of silicate glasses which becomes noticeable by a distinct decrease of glass transformation temperature, Tg. Thus, it has a considerable influence on aging and fatigue as well as on sub-critical crack growth in glasses. In this connection also sub-Tg relaxation processes play a major role, but they are poorly investigated in glasses with high contents of structural bonded water. Therefore, soda-lime-silicate and sodium-borosilicate glasses with water contents up to 5 wt.% H2O were investigated by differential thermal analysis and sphere penetration viscometry, as well as internal friction measurements. The latter was applied to study network related relaxation mechanisms (α-relaxation) in the range of glass transition, as well as faster relaxation modes occurring at lower temperatures (β-, γ- relaxation). Total water content and concentrations of H2O molecules (CH2O) and OH groups (COH) in the glasses were determined by infrared spectroscopy.
For low water contents two sub-Tg internal friction peaks were observed and assigned to the low-temperature motion of alkali ions (γ-relaxation) and cooperative movements of dissimilar mobile species under participation of OH at higher temperature (βOH relaxation).
For large water contents, where significant amounts of molecular water are evident, a low temperature shoulder appears on the β-relaxation peak. This emerging relaxation mode (βH2O relaxation) was assigned to the motions of H2O molecules.
Boratgläser zeigen im allgeneinen eine niedrige Glasübergangstemperatur, Tg, auf Grund der 3fach Koordination des Bors mit Sauerstoff. Der Zusatz von Alkali- und Erdalkalioxiden zur Glaszusammensetzung führt zunächst zu einem Anstieg von Tg auf Grund des Koordinationswechsels des Bors von der 3fach zur 4fach Koordination, was als Borsäureanomalie bekannt ist. Bei hohen Alkalioxidgehalten werden dann zunehmend Nichtbrückensauerstoffe (NBO) auf Kosten des tetraedrisch koordinierten Bor gebildet, was zur Senkung der Viskosität führt. Im Gegensatz zu diesem bekannten Verhalten der Alkalioxide (R2O) ist wenig über die Wirkung von Wasser in Boratgläsern bekannt. Daher sollen in dieser Arbeit die rheologischen Eigenschaf-ten von wasserreichen Kalk-Natron-Boratgläsern unter spezieller Berücksichtigung der Rolle des Wassers näher betrachtet werden. Zu diesem Zweck wurde Tg in Abhängigkeit des Na2O- und H2O-Gehalts mittels Differentialthermoanalyse (DTA) und Mikropenetrationsviskosimetrie untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass im Gegensatz zu Na2O Wasser in allen untersuchten Glä-sern und H2O-Konzentrationsbereichen (< 8 Gew.%) Tg deutlich verringert. Diese Beobachtung weist darauf hin, dass Wasser primär zur Bildung von NBO führt und kaum zu einem Koordina-tionswechsel des Bors beiträgt.
Boron oxide glasses usually show low glass transition temperature Tg due to the three-fold oxygen coordination of boron. Adding of alkali and alkaline earth oxides to the glass composition will not decrease but increase Tg due to a change in boron coordination from trigonal to tetrahedral, known as the boron anomaly. Only for higher fractions of alkali oxides, non-bridging oxygens (NBO) are progressively formed in competition with tetrahedrally coordinated boron, which leads to a decrease in viscosity.
ln contrast to this well-known behavior of alkali oxides (R2O), there is little known about adding H2O to borate glasses. The present work therefore aims in shedding light on the rheological properties of hydrous soda lime borate glasses with particular focus on the role of water. For doing so, we determined Tg as a function of Na2O and H2O content using differential thermal analysis (DTA) backed up by micropenetration viscosity measurements. Results show that water decreases Tg for all glasses and water concentrations under study (< 8 wt.% total water). Obviously, water mostly causes the formation of NBO having no significant influence on boron coordination as seen for alkaline.
