Abstract

Phase relations in the lime-rich portion of the system CaO-B2O3-SiO2 have been studied by microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction of heated mixtures and quenched charges. Extensive solid solution of B2O3 in Ca2SiO4 occurs along the Ca2SiO4-Ca3B2O6 boundary, which has been studied in detail. It contains a ternary compound, Ca11B2Si4O22, which is stable to liquidus temperatures, melting incongruently to Ca2SiO4 and liquid at 1420 °C. Ca11B2Si4O22forms a eutectic with Ca3B2O6 at 1400 °C and, in the ternary system, with CaO and Ca3B2O6 at 1390 °C.
