Abstract The materials used for the synthesis of parent glass are 70% wt. metallurgical slag and 30% wt. industrial quartz sand. The initial batch is melted at and then quenched in water. The resulting glass frit is milled bellow 75 microns and pressed 1400 degrees C into "green" samples. In a next stage, they are heat treated at different temperatures with various heating rates and holding times. As a result, it is demonstrated the possibility for production variations, allowing the manufacture of three types of new materials by using the same pressed glass powders. We highlight the flexibility of the synthesis obtaining namely well densified glass-ceramics at about 950 degrees C, self-glazed glass-ceramics at about 1000 degrees C or glass-ceramic foams at approximately 1100 degrees C. The first set of materials is characterized by very well sintered structure combined with reasonable crystallinity; the second one-by smooth self-glazed surface with an attractive appearance and good properties and the third one-by 80-90% closed porosity and very good thermal stability above 1000 degrees C.
