Glass Crystallization Test Furnace

The GXT Glass Crystallization Test Furnace uses the gradient furnace method to measure the crystallization properties of glass, offering a temperature gradient range between 1000°C and 1600°C. This method is crucial for understanding and controlling the production process and forming techniques of non-metallic materials such as glass, which often tend to crystallize under certain conditions.

Crystallization, also known as devitrification or reverse vitrification, refers to the tendency of glass, with higher internal energy compared to its crystalline counterpart, to spontaneously form crystals under certain conditions. By determining the range of crystallization temperatures, as well as the degree of crystallization within that range, this equipment assists in developing optimal melting, forming, and thermal processing strategies to produce transparent and desirable glass products. Its applications span factories, schools, and research institutions focusing on the analysis and testing of glass materials.
