Abstract

Glasses of the system AgI-Ag2O-(0.95B2O3:0.05SiO2) have been formed by microwave processing using a domestic multi-mode oven operating at 900 watts and 2.45 GHz. Microwave heating resulted in rapid melting times with homogeneity in the quenched glasses equivalent to or better than conventional melting at 730 °C. The glass forming region in this pseudo-ternary system is compared with the conventionally melted glass forming region in the system AgI-Ag2O-B2O3. A reversible color difference has been observed between glasses conventionally melted and those melted by microwave for all glass compositions in our system.
