Magnesium aluminosilicate glass ceramics

Abstract:

A glass-ceramic includes SiO.sub.2 in a range of 40 mol. % to 80 mol. %; Al.sub.2O.sub.3 in a range of 5 mol. % to 20 mol. %; MgO in a range of 5 mol. % to 20 mol. %; and at least one of B.sub.2O.sub.3, ZnO, and TiO.sub.2, each in a range of 0 mol. % to 10 mol. %, such that the glass-ceramic further comprises a magnesium aluminosilicate crystalline phase at a concentration in a range of 5 wt. % to 80 wt. % of the glass-ceramic.
