Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance strength at high temp., fireproof and disaster preventing performance and a beautiful spectacle by melting the specified blended compositional substance and heat-treating it in the crystallization conditions to deposit anorthite single phase or a composite phase of the same phase and beta-wollastonite phase. CONSTITUTION:A raw material is blended so that the compositional substance consists of >=50wt.% SiO2, 10-20wt.% Al2O3, 5-15wt.% CaO and the balance at least one kind selected from among ZnO, BaO, Na2O and K2O. After this raw material is melted at about 1650 deg.C, it is quenched to obtain the flaky or granular amorphous material. This obtained amorphous material is filled into a prescribed frame and thereafter heated at about 1150 deg.C in an electric furnace, and softened and melted. It is slowly cooled to 900 deg.C at a cooling rate of 50 deg.C/ hour and then to room temp at 100 deg.C/hour. Anorthite single phase or a composite phase of the same phase and beta-wollastonite is deposited.

The crystallized glass of the present invention begins by first melting and homogenizing raw materials containing the above-mentioned components, and then rapidly cooling them to form a flaky or granular amorphous material. This amorphous material precipitates the crystals at a temperature of about 900° C. and gradually begins to melt, resulting in a low viscosity. In addition, when the temperature is lowered after complete melting, Tin2 and Z
Since no nucleating agent such as rO2 is added, it has the property of making it difficult for crystals to precipitate.

Therefore, in the present invention, after filling the amorphous material into a predetermined frame on the shelf board, the temperature is raised. At this time, crystals precipitate at around 900°C, so the color changes from transparent to opaque. Thereafter, by further increasing the temperature, softening progresses and the gaps between particles are filled. This temperature is about 1150°C.

After this, it is cooled to obtain artificial marble with a crystal layer,
When cooling, if it is rapidly cooled, the growth of crystals will be slow and it will not be possible to obtain a product with a good aesthetic appearance. In addition, cracks are likely to occur due to thermal strain, so it is slowly cooled at a rate of about 50°C/hr up to around 900°C. Thereafter, the artificial marble is cooled to an extent that no cracks occur in the artificial marble (approximately 00° C./hr or less) to obtain an artificial marble.

The raw material in the present invention is SiO2. A1203, [
: Glass raw materials such as aO are prepared in appropriate proportions, and this is once melted in a high-temperature glass oven or the like to form a frit to make it homogeneous, and then it is rapidly cooled to become amorphous. The main component (50 wt% or more) of this glass raw material is Sin, but it also contains 10 to 20 wt% of Al2O3 and CaO3.
~15wt% is combined to precipitate a composite phase of anorsite (Can・A12[13・2SiO,) single phase or the same phase and β-wolstenite (S10□・Cab) phase, which is a feature of the present invention. It is.

As is clear from this compositional formula, the molar ratio of Can, A12[]3, and SiO2 to constitute the anorthosite is 1:1:2. Therefore, in order to precipitate anorthosite, it is sufficient to mix it at this molar ratio, but in reality, in order to make artificial marble with no pores and an excellent appearance, the crystallization rate must be as low as 40% or less. It is necessary to keep it within a range. In this case, added Al2O3 and Ca

Therefore, the present invention specifies the range of Al2O3 and CaO in consideration of the fact that some of CaO and Al2O3 will be dissolved in the glass. That is, for AI, 03, if it is less than 10 wt%, most of it will be dissolved in the glass and the anorthosite phase will not precipitate, and if it is more than 20 wt%, the crystallization rate will be too high as 40% or more, and the generation of pores cannot be prevented. . In addition, with regard to CaD, if it is less than 5wt%, the amount of Ca necessary for the formation of γ-northosites cannot be supplied, and if the CaD content is less than 5wt%,

In addition, in the present invention, one or more of 2nll, BaO, Na2D, and K2O is blended, and all of these ingredients lower the melting point of the glass, making it easier to work with, and making the glass free of pores. It is an indispensable material for obtaining the crystalline phase, and in particular, it is a component for stabilizing the glass phase, but since it has no special meaning for the precipitation of the crystalline phase specified in the present invention, its quantitative range is not specified. It is not something that will be done.
