Factors Influencing Fluxing Action Of Various Oxides In Low- Temperature Borosilicate Glasses.

Strontium, barium, and lead oxides were studied as fluxes in low temperature borosilicate glasses by using the button-flow method. It was found that strontia may be superior to lead oxide as a flux in glasses high in fluorides and low in alumina. This result was explained by the greater solubility of fluorides in strontia glasses, in which case the two fluxes, strontia and feldspar, are acting together.
