摘要

This research was conducted to study the effect of adding Sb2O3 to CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 glass–ceramic. The addition of Sb2O3 led to significant improvements in density, Vickers hardness, water absorption, and corrosion resistance, with optimal results observed when adding 2 wt.% Sb2O3. The enhanced properties were attributed to increased crystallization, refinement of the crystalline phases, and improved microstructure uniformity. However, an excessive addition of Sb2O3 (3 wt.%) resulted in oversaturation, inhibiting further crystallization and reducing the overall performance of the material. The findings demonstrate that Sb2O3 effectively acts as a nucleating agent for CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 glass–ceramic, with an optimal content of 2 wt.% for improved material properties.
