Exploration Of High-Hardness/Low-Melting Borate Glasses

Numerous types of borate glass-AEO-ZnO-B2O3 (AEO=CaO, SrO, BaO), TMO-ZnO-B2O3 (TMO=MnO, Fe2O3, Co3O4, NiO, CuO), and REO-TMO-B2O3 (REO=Nd2O3 and La2O3) were investigated to discover a glass with high hardness and low melting temperature. They were prepared using a combinatorial glass melting system, and their hardness and glass transition temperature, Tg, were measured.
