Abstract
The sintering of glass can sometimes be impeded by crystallization. In the optimum process the glass should sinter to full density before the onset of crystallization. In an earlier paper we showed how sinter‐forging experiments can be used to investigate the coupling between densification and crystallization. Here we demonstrate that increasing the heating rate can delay crystallization so that a certain glass can sinter to full density.
