[Effect of crystalling temperatures on microstructure of dental glass-ceramic]
Abstract:
To know well the effect of crystalling temperature on the microstructure of dental glass-ceramic, the parameters of microstructure such as the type of crystal, crystal percentage, crystal size and crystal form were investigated by altering crystalling temperatures and using scanning electronic microscope, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction techniques. The results showed that the crystalline phase was identified to be tetrasilicic fluromica, and the promotion of crystalling temperature contributed to the increased crystal percentage, crystal size and the transformation of crystal form from 830 degrees C to 950 degrees C.
