Abstract:
The possibility of modeling the cooling processes of the Bi$_{2}$GeO$_{5}$ metastable compound using the ProCAST software package is shown. Despite a number of assumptions used in the simulation, the calculation results showed good convergence with the real cooling rates of the melts and can be useful for the development of modeling in the Bi$_{2}$O$_{3}$–GeO$_{2}$ system in order to obtain metastable materials with a given set of properties and the character of the microstructure.
Keywords:bismuth germanate, metastable compound, modeling, cooling time, crystallization.
