To investigate the effect of transition metal oxides on the evaporation characteristic of SiO 2 glass at 1700°C, nine transition metal oxides were added to SiO 2 glass. The results show that V 2 O 5 , MoO 3 , and WO 3 have little effect on the high-temperature stability of SiO 2 glass due to their evaporation at 1500-1700°C. Besides, Nb 2 O 5 and Ta 2 O 5 reduce the evaporation of SiO 2 by covering the surface of the sample. Moreover, by improving the content of cristobalite, the evaporation of the SiO 2 -Cr 2 O 3 sample decreases. Meanwhile, TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , and HfO 2 are beneficial to decreasing the evaporation of SiO 2 glass because Ti, Zr, and Hf diffuse into c-SiO 2 . Meanwhile, the SiO 2 -HfO 2 sample possesses the least evaporation.
