Abstract:
CaO-Al
2O
3-SiO
2 (CAS) series glass with TiO
2 doping amount (mole fraction) of 0-5.0% was prepared by traditional melt cooling method, and the effect of TiO
2 doping amount on the micro structure, thermal stability and bending strength of the glass was studied. The results show that TiO
2 mainly existed in the form ofTiO
5 unit in CAS series glass network. With increasing TiO
2 doping amount, the number ofTiO
5 unit and Ti-O-Si bond in the glass, the number of bridge oxygen in the glass network, and optical band gap of the glass all first increased and then decreased, and all reached the largest value when the TiO
2 doping amount was 4.0%. With increasing TiO
2 doping amount, the thermal stability and flexural strength of CAS series glass first increased and then decreased. When the doping amount of TiO
2 was 4%, the comprehensive performance was the best, and the glass transition temperature, bending strength and optical band gap were 798.24℃, 95.58 MPa and 3.75 eV, respectively.
