Abstract
Abstract: The application of inexpensive materials such as copper, zinc, lead, iron and steel slag in
manufacturing of glass and glass-ceramic products in construction industry, lining materials as
anti-corrosion and anti-abrasion coatings in metals and etc, has led to considerable progress in
glass technology in recent years. The composition of slag glass-ceramics is mainly located in the
SiO2-Al2O3-CaO-MgO system, in which one of the most important problems is the lack of bulk
crystallization. To resolve the above-mentioned problem, the crystallization behavior of various
compositions containing different nucleating agents Cr2O3 , Fe2O3 and TiO2 in the single, double
and triple forms were studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA).The precipitated crystalline
phases was determined by the X-ray diffractometry and the micro-structural analysis was studies
using the SEM micrographs. The three point bending strength, micro-hardness and the chemical
resistance of the best composition were determined. According to the results, the resulted glassceramic
had a better specification than the stoneware floor tiles and the porcelain one, which are
considered as the two important competitors for it.

Abstract
Abstract: In the present work, effect of the nucleating agent such as TiO2, ZrO2, P2O5, Ye2O3 and CeO2 in single, double, triple and fourth systems on the crystallization behavior of various compositions was studied. Using differential thermal analysis (DTA), the composition of Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 (LAS) was optimized and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), three point flexural strength, hardness, thermal shock resistance, and chemical resistance of the most favorable composition were evaluated. The crystalline phase was determined by the x-ray diffractometry. Moreover, the micro-structure of the samples was studied by SEM technique. According to the results, -Eucryptites (high quartz solid solution) was the main crystalline phase and the CTE values of the optimized sample were determined as 1.65-1.93 10-6 in the temperature range of 20-500 oC. Furthermore, three point bending strength ranged from 139 to 155 MPa.

Abstract
The effect of Y2O3, CeO2, P2O5, ZrO2 and TiO2 in single, double and triple form on crystallization mechanism of Li2OAl2O3- SiO2(LAS) glass-ceramic system was investigated .The nucleation and crystallization peak temperatures of optimized samples in each group were determined by Ray & Day method .The crystalline phase was determined by the X-ray diffractometery .The micro-structure of the samples was studied by SEM techniqe .Crystallization activation energy ,E, and kinetic constants(n ,m) were determined by differential thermal analysis (DTA) through Marotta and Augis-Bennet methods .According to the results ,the Avrami constants(m ,n) derived from the Marotta and Augis- Bennett, glasses containing both ZrO2 and TiO2 nuclei were showed bulk crystallization .The crystallization mechanism of specimens containing ZrO2, TiO2 and CeO2 in the triple nuclei series represent two-dimensional bulk crystallization .By comparison of Avrami constants and activation energy of crystallization of optimized samples with other results they gave much lower value of E(255.5 kJ/mol) and higher value of n in 4.38.The lattice constants of the main phase( -eucryptite solid solution)in samples were determined according to the XRD results
