Abstract
In this paper the conditions of surface crystallization of glass were studied. The basic glass which is apt to crystallize, with $SiO_2$ 72.50, $Al_2O_3$ 5, 00, $Na_2O$ 8.00 $K_2O$ 3.50, CaO 5.00, MgO 3.00, $B_2O_3$ 3.00 Wt% is chosen. The strain point and softening point of this glass is 4$25^{\circ}C$ and 778$^{\circ}C$ each, and between the two temperatures we could get grystal on its surface by immersion in salt baths during some controlled hours. The kind of crystal on the surface of glass was confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis and the change of the thickness of crystalline layers depending on temperature and time, was surveyed by using optical microscope. The results are as follows; 1. The chloride group is more suitable than sulfate group for the treating salt. 2. In the condition with 50 LiCl.50NaCl at 62$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs and with 50 LiCL.20-30 NaCl.30-20 $CaCl_2$ at 72$0^{\circ}C$ for 15-20 min. we could get the best crystalline layers. 3. The crystal was silica-O and petalite with a little tridymite and nepheline. 4. The thickness of crystalline layers increased with increasement of temperature and time.
