Abstract

Comparative studies of two multi-component silicate glasses have confirmed the observation that glasses with a relatively low SiO2 + AlO3/2 content may exhibit temporary increases in leach rate during the initial stages of their exposure to water. SEM studies of the leached glass surfaces strongly support the assumption that this phenomenon is due to cracking of the leached glass and a consequent increase of the exposed surface area.
