The effects of MgO content (4–10 mol%) on the network structure, crystallization mechanism, microstructure, and ion-exchange enhanced mechanical properties were investigated. As the MgO content increases, the conversion of [AlO<sub>5</sub>] to [AlO<sub>4</sub>] is promoted, thereby enhancing the polymerization degree of the glass network. Additionally, Mg<sup>2+</sup> ions can participate in the formation of spinel crystals; thus, the increasing MgO content enhances the crystallinity of spinel and further enhances the mechanical properties of glass-ceramics. When the addition of MgO is 4–6 mol%, the mean crystal sizes are ∼35 nm, maintaining high transparency. Increasing the MgO content further resulted in larger grain sizes, which in turn reduced transparency. The glass with 6 mol% MgO nucleated at 800°C for 6 h and then crystallized at 960°C for 2 h exhibited optimal comprehensive properties, a Vickers hardness of 830 kgf/mm<sup>2</sup>, approximately 70% visible light transmittance, an elastic modulus of 103 GPa, and the three-point flexural strength of 171 MPa. These transparent glass-ceramics were conducted on a two-step ion-exchange process, leading to the increasing of Vickers hardness to 920 kgf/mm<sup>2</sup> and the three-point flexural strength to 600 MPa. It is indicated that the spinel glass-ceramic can be chemically strengthened through ion-exchange, showing a high potential in the applications of protective covers for cell phones, displays, and some precision lens.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":200,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American Ceramic Society","volume":"109 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148050474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, asbestos tailings, coal fly ash, and kaolin were used as raw materials. The MgO/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> molar ratio (M/A ratio) and sintering temperature of raw materials were changed. The cordierite glass-ceramics were prepared by melting water quenching and sintering method. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectrometer, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to investigate the microstructure and crystallization behavior of the glass-ceramics. The physical and chemical properties of the glass-ceramics were systematically evaluated. The results show that the crystallization process of glass-ceramics is a combination of surface crystallization and bulk crystallization. A range of structural fragments in the base glass are transformed at a certain temperature and precipitated into crystal phases such as cordierite. Reducing the M/A ratio can promote the precipitation of cordierite phase and improve the acid–base resistance of glass-ceramics. Increasing the M/A ratio helps to improve the densification of glass-ceramics and thus improves the bending resistance. The cordierite glass-ceramics prepared at the sintering temperature of 1170–1180°C and the M/A ratio of 1.4–1.8 showed the best comprehensive properties and met the requirement standard (JC/T 2097-2011). Considering the specific needs of cordierite glass-ceramics in different applications, the selection of glass-ceramics materials with specific properties is the key to ensure that the performance indicators can be met.
