Title: Method of making in-situ whisker reinforced glass ceramic

Patent ·
OSTI ID:868659

A heat processing procedure is used to create reinforcing whiskers of TiO.sub.2 in glass-ceramic materials in the LAS and MAS family. The heat processing procedure has particular application in creating TiO.sub.2 in-situ in a modified .beta.-eucryptite system.
