  • Method of producing glass-ceramic
    Patent number: 9540279
    Abstract: A method of producing glass-ceramic includes providing a glass made from a glass composition comprising LiO2, Al2O3, SiO2, and at least one nucleating agent. The glass is disposed in a microwave processing chamber. Microwaves are then selectively delivered into the microwave processing chamber at varying frequencies to induce different distributions of microwave fields in the glass. The glass is nucleated and crystallized while under the influence of the induced microwave fields.
