Abstract

In this paper the effect of modifying components containing Al2O3, B2O3, SiO2 and CaO introduced in various combinations on high and low-temperature viscosity values of basalt glass has been studied. It is shown that the introduction of boron-containing components in compositions with basalt leads to a significant decrease in the viscosity of the basalt melt at all temperature ranges. Influence of modifiers on low-temperature viscosity values of basalt glass correlates with their influence on high-temperature viscosity. Based on experimental values of rheological properties and crystallization ability of modified basalt melts, the modes of basalt fibre production have been determined.
