ABSTRACT:
The instant invention relates to the production of glass-ceramic articles, wherein the predominant crystal phase is beta-quartz solid solution and/or beta-spodumene solid solution, but which have a thin, integral, tightly-bonded surface film containing crystals exhibiting the structure of magnetite. The preferred method of production for such articles requires three general steps. First, a glass article having a particular composition within the Li.sub.2 O--FeO--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 field nucleated with TiO.sub.2 is heat treated in air or other oxidizing atmosphere to yield a glass-ceramic article through the crystallization in situ of beta-quartz solid solution and/or beta-spodumene solid solution crystals. Simultaneously during this heat treatment, a surface layer containing hematite is developed. Second, the glass-ceramic article is subjected to a hot acid bath. Third, the acid-washed article is heat treated in a H.sub.2 O-containing reducing atmosphere to convert the hematite crystals to magnetite. The resulting films demonstrate high coercive forces and saturation magnetization comparable to that of magnetite and other ceramic ferrite materials.
