Abstract — It has been established that, during the heat treatment of an unsubmixed (unsub-blended) glass (with the contents of Ca and Mg, corresponding to the natural basalt) at the first stage of the oxidation process, magnetic nanoparticles (>20 nm according to the transmission electron microscopy data) of (Mg, Fe)3O4 are formed in a nonmagnetic glassy matrix (that is, the oxidation proceeds as internal reaction), followed by the crystallization of alumosilicate phases. In the glasses enriched in CaO, such a crystallization occurs simultaneously with the evolution of the spinel phase. An analysis of the distribution of cations over the fiber cross section has demonstrated that annealing under oxidative conditions is conducive to an increase at the surface of fibers in the concentration of Ca in the case of utilizing an unsubmixed material and that of Na in the case of the glass with a higher content of CaO. The long-term annealing of the nanocomposite at the temperatures of its production results (according to the measurement data of magnetic properties) in the interaction of a part of the formed (Mg, Fe)3O4 with the alumosilicate matrix.
