Crystallization, microstructure and mechanical behavior of TiO₂ doped barium fluorphlogopite glassceramics were systematically studied. TiO₂ was used as a doper nucleant in the BaO·4MgO·Al₂O₃·6SiO₂·2MgF₂ glass system. Melting technique was adopted to prepare the glass samples which were analyzed by differential thermal analysis (DTA), Xray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and micro hardness indenter. The DTA study demonstrated that the crystallization exotherm of fluorphlogopite mica appeared in the temperature window of 886903°C. In this investigation, four glass samples were prepared using 2 (MA1), 4 (MA2), 6 (MA3), and 8 (MA4) wt% of TiO_2. Glass transition (T_g) and peak crystallization (T_p) temperatures escalated with an increase in the TiO₂ content from 2 (MA1) to 4 wt% (MA2). However, beyond this value, T_g and T_p decreased with a surge in TiO₂ content from 6 (MA3) to 8 wt …
