The effect of fluorine and fluorine + chlorine on melt viscosities in the system Na2O Fe2O3 Al2O3 SiO2 has been investigated. Shear viscosities of melts ranging in composition from peraluminous [(Na2O + FeO) < (Al2O3 + Fe2O3)] to peralkaline [(Na2O + FeO) > (Al2O3 + Fe2O3)] were determined over a temperature range 560 890 °C at room pressure in a nitrogen atmosphere. Viscosities were determined using the micropenetration technique in the range of 108.8 to 1012.0 Pa s. The compositions are based on addition of FeF3 and FeCl3 to aluminosilicate melts with a fixed amount of SiO2 (67 mol%). Although there was a significant loss of F and Cl during glass syntheses, none occurred during the viscometry experiments. The presence of fluorine causes a decrease in the viscosity of all melts investigated. This is in agreement with the structural model that two fluorines replace one oxygen; resulting in a depolymerisation of the melt and thus a decrease in viscosity. The presence of both chlorine and fluorine results in a slight increase in the viscosity of peraluminous melts and a decrease in viscosity of peralkaline melts. The variation in viscosity produced by the addition of both fluorine and chlorine is the opposite to that observed in the same composition melts, with the addition of chlorine alone (Zimova M. and Webb S.L. (2006) The effect of chlorine on the viscosity of Na2O Fe2O3 Al2O3 SiO2 melts. Am. Mineral.91, 344 352). This suggests that the structural interaction of chlorine and fluorine is not linear and the rheology of magmas containing both volatiles is more complex than previously assumed.
