Abstract: Sealing connection quartz glass is widely used in aerospace, semiconductor processing and micro-electro-mechanical system vacuum connection, etc. The improved low-expansion Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 (LAS) glass-ceramics can be used to seal quartz glass, but there is a problem of poor fluidity.LAS glass-ceramics were modified by incorporating WO3. The mechanism of LAS glass sealing quartz glass after incorporating WO3 was investigated by using linear expansion coefficient analyzer, differential scanning calorimeter, X-ray diffractometer, high temperature sintering imager and scanning electron microscope. The results show that the effect of WO3 on the crystallization of LAS glass is strengthening first and then weakening. The more WO3 is added, the greater the thermal expansion coefficient is. When the amount of WO3 reaches 5.0% (mass fraction), the thermal expansion coefficient increases to 5.69×10-7-1.The fluidity and wettability develop with the enlarge of the external doping amount. The spreading area extends with the increase of the external doping amount. The wetting angle decreases with the expand of the external doping amount, which effectively improves the problem of insufficient fluidity of LAS glass itself. The sealing between LAS glass and quartz glass is mainly achieved by the migration of chemical elements.
