Abstract
This work addresses the formation conditions and stability of a celsian-cordierite eutectic structure produced during the crystallization of a barium magnesium aluminosilicate (BM AS) glass-ceramic with the Ba-osumilite stoichiometry. The melt-derived BMAS glass-ceramic was pulverized and subsequently hot pressed to produce sintered powder compacts, some of which were subjected to post-sintering heat treatments in air. The study of the devitrifled BMAS glass revealed that a metastable celsian-cordierite eutectic structure resulted from the prolonged annealing of the BMAS glass-ceramic between 860° and 1000°C. The celsian-cordierite eutectic structure transformed to the thermodynamically stable Ba-osumilite phase when annealed at temperatures > 1000°C.
