Abstract: Low expansion Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 (LAS) glass-ceramics were prepared using sintering method. The effect of ZnO partially substitution for Li2O on the microstructure, sintering behavior, crystallization behavior and properties of LAS glass-ceramics was investigated. The results show that the substitution of ZnO for Li2O reduces the initial crystallization temperature of LAS glass-ceramics,leading to significant amount of Li2Al2Si3O10 phase precipitating out after holding at 800 ℃ for 10 min, which hinders the sintering shrinkage of glass. In contrast, the LAS glass-ceramics without ZnO exhibits slower crystallization at 800 ℃, which is beneficial for sintering densification process. When the sintering temperature is 1 100 ℃, the main crystalline phase present in glass-ceramics is identified as β-spodumene. The coefficient of thermal expansion of glass-ceramics without ZnO is 1.747×10-6 K-1, the flexural strength is 138.4 MPa, the dielectric constant is 3.52 and the dielectric loss is 0.001 6.

Key words: glass-ceramics, β-spodumene, Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2, low expansion, sintering
