Abstract: | It is shown that the volume behaviour of hydroxyl-free vitreous silica (type IV silica glass) is similar to that of the so-called natural vitreous silica (fused quartz, type I and II silica glasses) with low hydroxyl content. Thus, in view of that, a distinction may be made between two groups, types I, II and IV on the one hand and type III, the hydroxyl-rich silica glasses, on the other hand, although a distinction may also be made between the group of “natural” (type I and II) and “synthetic” silica glasses (type III and IV) in view of production method and starting material (quartz or SiCl4). It is further shown that the type III silica glasses give an example for a change from the anomalous volume behaviour of “pure” silica glasses (thermal expansion, high-temperature minimum of volume) to the common behaviour of silicate glasses. |
