N2 - The goal of this work is to use variable frequency microwave processing to crystallize lithium disilicate glass (Li2Si2O5) into a glass-ceramic material. Variable frequency microwave (VFM) processing significantly reduces the time required for crystallizing lithium disilicate glass into a glass-ceramic in comparison to conventional processing. Moreover, VFM permits more uniform heating and precise control of microwave energy over fixed frequency techniques. The Li2Si2O5 glass system provides the basis for a large number of commercially successful glass-ceramic products, such as cookware, radomes, ceramic composites, stovetops and dental crowns. A new generation of dental crowns based on this composition provides a driving force for developing more efficient processing methods.
