Corrosion of Glass-Ceramics

Glass-ceramics contain an amorphous phase and a crystalline phase minimum. Their attractive properties are chemical durability, mechanical strength, lower thermal expansion coefficient compared to glasses, dielectric constant, and electromagnetic radiation transmittance. Because of these properties, they find applications in electronics, military, vacuum technology, households.

Glass and ceramics. Such materials are affected not by electrochemical processes but mainly by simple dissolution of the material. One way of protecting against the corrosion of glass is to add lime added to soda-glass it reduces solubility in water. 

Fluorine is the most electronegative and reactive of all elements. It is a pale yellow, corrosive gas, which reacts with most organic and inorganic substances. Finely divided metals, glass, ceramics, carbon, and even water burn in fluorine with a bright flame.
