Definitions
- Silica is a common component of glass-forming compositions.
- Alumina and zirconia have also been used in transparent glass beads to improve mechanical properties such as toughness, hardness, and strength.
- the amount of alumina and zirconia such beads can contain tends to be limited so as to avoid problems arising from crystallization, such as loss of transparency and processing difficulties.
- the most highly durable compositions comprise primarily alumina, zirconia, and silica with small amounts of modifiers (e.g., alkaline earth oxides). These compositions tend to have very high melting points and require special processing equipment such as a hydrogen flame or plasma torch. Lower melting compositions with high modifier content typically have poorer mechanical properties and provide only modest improvements over conventional glass beads.
- barium titanate-based glass bead compositions are typically based on the compound BaTiO 3 , or the BaO TiO 2 eutectic, and can contain silica or a higher index oxide such as tin oxide or zinc oxide. They can contain greater than about 55% titania, although lower titania compositions comprising primarily lead oxide are also known. Barium titanate-based glass bead compositions are typically low durability glass beads, contain greater than 20% alkaline earth oxides, have not been or are not readily transformed to transparent beads with significant microcrystallinity, and generally contain little or no alumina and zirconia.
- the present invention provides transparent, solid microspheres (i.e., beads) of various compositions containing titania and at least one of alumina, zirconia, and silica. It is preferable that the microspheres exhibit a relatively low liquidus temperature (preferably, no greater than about 1400°C, and more preferably, no greater than about 1300°C), and form a clear, transparent glass when quenched. Also, preferred microspheres form a microcrystalline glass-ceramic structure via heat treatment yet remain transparent.
- zirconia and alumina are known to provide high hardness and strength to ceramic articles.
- Silica is useful as a glass former, and provides some reduction in liquidus temperature when combined with alumina and zirconia.
- silica has a low refractive index and even the useful low melting region in the zirconia/alumina/silica (ZAS) ternary system has a relatively high liquidus temperature of about 1750°C.
- the titania content of transparent beads according to the present invention is at least about 10% by weight, based on the total weight of the solid microspheres.
- the titania content is no greater than about 50% by weight.
- the titania content can be greater than about 50% by weight.
- such glass ceramic beads may have poorer mechanical properties, they typically have an index of refraction of greater than about 2.0 and are useful for wet reflection.
- the titania content is about 15% to about 40% by weight, and most preferably, about 15% to about 35% by weight, based on the total weight of the solid microspheres.
- a bead precursor can be formed and subsequently heated.
- a "bead precursor” refers to the material formed into the shape of a bead by melting and cooling a bead starting composition.
- This bead precursor is also referred to herein as a quenched fused bead, and may be suitable for use without further processing if the mechanical properties and transparency are of desirable levels.
- the bead precursor is formed by melting a starting composition containing prescribed amounts of raw materials (e.g., titanium raw material, silicon raw material, aluminum raw material, and zirconium raw material), forming molten droplets of a predetermined particle size, and cooling those molten droplets.
