Abstract
The effect of B2O3 on the viscosity of a haplogranitic liquid has been determined at 1 atm pressure in the temperature interval of 600-1600°C. The viscosity of haplogranite liquid decreases with the addition of B2O3 at all temperatures investigated. The viscosity decrease is nonlinear, with the strongest decrease exhibited at low B2O3 concentration. The temperature dependence of the viscosity of all the investigated liquids is Arrhenian, in strong contrast to the case for B2O3 liquid. B must be considered as a fluxing agent in B-rich granitic and pegmatitic systems. -from Authors
