Abstract

The crystallization behavior of Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glasses with various concentration of Li2O were investigated by DSC, XRD, and FE-SEM. The h/l-quartz s.s. is the main crystalline phase for all of the glass with the heat treatment of 720 °C/3 h+800°C/1.5 h while the crystallinity and crystal size increase with the increase of Li2O contents. Due to the negative thermal expansion coefficient of h/l-quartz s.s., the thermal expansion coefficient of glass-ceramics decreases with the increasing of Li2O contents. When the Li2O content is 9mol%, the near-zero CTE20–700 °C= −0.09 × 10−6 °C−1 is obtained upon the heat treatment of 720 °C/3 h+800 °C/1.5 h. The crystallization activation energy of the glass with 9mol% Li2O is about 351 kJ/mol, and the crystallization mechanism is volume crystallization.
