Description
This volume is the fifth, and last, part of the "Handbook of Glass Data": Part A: Silica Glass and Binary Silicate Glasses was published in 1983 and Part B: Single-Component and Binary Non-Silicate Oxide Glasses in 1985. Part C, published in 1987, covered Ternary Silicate Glasses and Part D: Ternary Non-Silicate Glasses was published in 1991. Thus, parts A-D covered properties of all single-component, binary and ternary oxide glasses and glass-fanning melts. This part of the Handbook compiles appropriate data published in world literature since the preparation of the previous parts and until the end of 1990. The principles of data selection and presentation applied when compiling this book were as follows: 1. The book covers information on systems capable of forming glasses by cooling melts. 2. The data on melt properties are presented only for the glass-forming systems. Nevertheless, data is presented on melt properties over the whole range of concentrations, irrespective of whether this range is limited by a glass-forming region or not. 3.
The notion of a "component", which is very important for determining the number of components in each glass, is defined by the authors in the following way: (a) An oxide entering into the composition of a glass is considered a component. (b) If an analytical composition of a glass is given with impurities, these impurities are not to be taken into consideration when classifying glasses with respect to the number of components if there is no reason to believe that the given impurities considerably change the corresponding property. 4. Data on the crystallization rate of glasses are included since this characteristic should be considered as one of the most important properties of a glass. 5. In most cascs, data on the so-called characteristic temperatures (deformation temperatures, upper and lower annealing points and others) are not given. Littleton's softening temperatures and glass transition temperatures are the main exceptions. According to Littleton the softening temperature conforms to the viscosity of 10 to the 7.65 poises, although it is possible that drastic composition variations may lead to some changes in this value. 6.
When the original papers report viscosity and electrical conductivity logarithms accurate to three or four decimal places, the figures are rounded off to two decimal places, since with present experimental techniques a minimum measurement error of the indicated properties exceeds plus or minus 2% of a measured value even in the best investigations. In this volume all systems are united into large groups according to the valence of the elements forming the corresponding oxides. The sequence is as follows: glass formation, crystallization, density, thermal expansion and other thermal properties, optical properties, viscosity, elastic properties and internal friction, strength, surface tension, chemical durability, electrical properties, diffusion, permeation and solubility of gases, ion diffusion, volatility and magnetic properties. The experimental data are given in chronological order and data on glass properties are given in tabular form. This handbook should be of interest to those working in research laboratories of glass-making firms, university lecturers and students at undergraduate and postgraduate level involved with materials science.
