Abstract: Steel slag-based glass ceramics were fabricated via a melting-sintering method using steel slag, SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 as raw materials. Then the effects of SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 addition on vitrification and crystallization kinetics of the as-prepared glass were analyzed by using the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose equation, the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami equation, etc. The results showed that SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 addition significantly lowers the melting point of the starting precursor and promotes the vitrification process. The lowest local crystallization activation energy, corresponding to the poorest thermal stability, is obtained in the parent glass with 30 wt% SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 addition. For samples with 30-50 wt% SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 addition, the local Avrami exponents are all greater than 1, indicating that the parent glasses follow a bulk nucleation mechanism. Moreover, as the SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 content increases, the local Avrami exponent changes from 1.5-4.0 to 1.5-2.5, signifying a shift in the crystal growth mode from three-dimensional diffusion-controlled to one-dimensional interface-controlled growth. This transition alters the crystallized microstructure from equiaxed grains to dendrites. The formation of dendrites originates from Fe/Mn-bearing [SiO 4 ] tetrahedral nuclei. At temperatures above 830 °C, the rapidly detached [SiO 4 ] can periodically stack at the nuclei-glass interface to form chain-like structures, and connect with cation octahedra such as [CaO 6 ] along the chains to generate lateral protrusions, eventually growing into dendrites. Finally, thermal cycling tests on the obtained glass ceramics with various microstructures were also conducted. The results revealed that all the cycled samples exhibit good thermal stability with no significant changes in microstructures except a small alteration found in the sample with 40 wt% SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 addition, which is likely associated with the thermal stress accumulated during thermal cycling.
