Moreover, the crystallization control and consequently, the kinetic properties are important for oxyfluoride glasses. Therefore, in the present research, the crystallization kinetics of isochronal transformation of the 37.26SiO2-28.11Al2O3-7.73CaO-26.89CaF2-4.5 K2O (wt%) glass have been determined upon the basis of maximum transformation rate using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) technique. Hence, it is concluded that the crystallization of the mentioned glass is a process controlled by Avrami nucleation, three-dimensional diffusion-controlled growth, and anisotropic growth impingement mode. The effective activation energy Qp =181 kJ.mol-1, growth exponent n=2.272, nucleation activation energy QN= 123, and growth activation energy QG=211 have been determined. %U https://www.acerp.ir/article_119430_750a850e2f133b94a477fb249c19e3c7.pdf
