Abstract

A TEM study on the kinetics of metastable phase separation in a lithium bearing HLW glass frit is presented. As nothing was known about the kinetics of metastable phase separation below the glass transformation temperature we had to carry out annealing experiments just above and below the transformation temperature, in order to achieve phase separation on a laboratory time scale- Particle growth in the WAKID5 HLW glass frit at 550 °C occurs by a diffusion controlled Ostwald ripening process (about 40 °C above Tg). Metastable phase separation in the lithium bearing glasses even at lower temperatures cannot be excluded from the present study. In NaBSi3O8 glass (Tg ≈ 580 °C) phase separation could be detected at 500 °C well below Tg after about 160 days.
