This study investigates the effect of iron oxide Fe2O3 on the homogeneity, viscosity, and glass transition temperature (Tg) of peraluminous glasses. As-quenched glass samples elaborated at 1350°C show an incorporation limit around 17.5 wt% of Fe2O3 (10.4 mol%), while slowly cooled glass samples show a limit of 7.5 wt% of Fe2O3 (4.25 mol%). Iron in the peraluminous glasses investigated was detected under three configurations: 6-fold coordinated 6Fe3+ in majority, 4-fold coordinated 4Fe3+ and 6-fold coordinated 6Fe2+. It was observed that Fe2O3 addition has a strong fluidifying effect on peraluminous glasses and tends to slightly decrease the glass transition temperature Tg, depending on its thermal history.
