The sinter-crystallization of glass powders or grains is an alternative technique for manufacture of glass-ceramics. At this method the densification and the phase formation occur simultaneously and take place in the same temperature range. As a result, the information for the relationship between these two processes is fundamental for understanding and control of the synthesis.
The main aim of this project is to create a common theory, explaining the various cases of sinter-crystallization, which is based on the crystallization ability of parent glasses and on the size of used fraction.
