devitrify

listen to the pronunciation of devitrify
Englisch - Englisch
To become crystalline and brittle
To deprive of glasslike character; to take away vitreous luster and transparency from
make (glassy materials) brittle or opaque become crystalline
devitrification
The formation of small crystals in a glass as a result of slow cooling from the molten state
devitrification
The act or process of devitrifying, or the state of being devitrified
devitrification
the process in which a glass (noncrystalline or vitreous solid) transforms to a crystalline solid
devitrification
A crystalline growth that appears as a scum or matte finish on the surface of some glasses when heated to fusing temperatures
devitrification
in the glassy base, which are then called devitrification products
devitrification
The term literally means "un-glass" and means just that Under certain adverse conditions the elements at the surface of glass can break down and leave a white powdery-looking deposit Sometimes devitrification can be eliminated by reheating, but often it cannot and it must be removed by acid-polishing
devitrification
(1) The process whereby glass becomes partly crystallized as it cools (usually too slowly) from the molten state; (2) the crystals formed by this process Devtrification may also occur on the surface as a result of the unstable composition of the glass, unsuccessful annealing or accidental firing It is not caused by reaction between the glass and its environment, which is known as weathering
devitrification
{i} act of becoming crystalline and brittle (Geology)
devitrification
Specifically, the conversion of molten glassy matter into a stony mass by slow cooling, the result being the formation of crystallites, microbites, etc
devitrification
The crystallization of a ceramic melt during cooling Devitrification is desirable in achieving certain visual effects (e g matteness) and undesirable when a transparent or glossy transparent glaze is desired
