ABSTRACT:
The instant invention relates to the manufacture of articles demonstrating the physical properties and internal microstructure of glass-ceramic bodies but which can be formed spontaneously from molten glass. Thus, the heat treatment of a precursor glass body, such as is required in the production of conventional glass-ceramic articles to cause the crystallization in situ thereof, is avoided. More particularly, this invention relates to the manufacture of highly crystalline glass-ceramic articles having compositions within the Na.sub.2 O-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -SiO.sub.2 field, wherein carnegieite and/or nepheline solid solution crystals constitute the predominant crystal phase, which can be formed spontaneously from a molten glass batch.
