Abstract
NUCLEATION and controlled crystallization of glass are now receiving considerable attention because of their importance in the manufacture of glass ceramics1. These materials are prepared by melting a glass batch containing a suitable nucleating agent and formed into a solid glass article by any conventional glass-making technique. The glass is later heat-treated in such a way that devitrification proceeds in a controlled manner and the article is converted into a glass-ceramic which is extremely fine-grained and nearly void-free.
