The influence of nucleating agents and heat‐treatments on magnesium‐aluminum‐silicate (MAS) glass‐ceramics was studied. MAS precursor glasses were melted in oxidant (air) and reducing atmospheres. Nb 2 O 5 , MoO 3 and TiO 2 +ZrO 2 were added as nucleating agents at the same molar proportion (1.0%). MAS glass‐ceramics nucleated with Nb 2 O 5 are strike face candidates for security windows when relevant outputs are taken into account, such as transparency, crack resistance, hardness and feasibility. Nb 2 O 5 ‐doped MAS can achieve up to 20% crystalline volume fraction, while keeping the visible transparency close to 70%. Knoop hardness was raised up to 7.4 GPa in comparison to precursor glass (6.2 GPa), considering the indentation size effect. The crack resistance reached 4 N.
