Development Status and Application of Ultra-Low Expansion Glass-Ceramics

Abstract

Abstract: Ultra-low expansion glass-ceramics is a kind of glass-ceramics with β-quartz solid solution as main crystal phase precipitated in parent glass after strictly controlled crystallization on the basis of Li₂O-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ system glass. Because of its low coefficient of thermal expansion, excellent thermal stability, chemical stability and mechanical properties, ultra-low expansion glass-ceramics have been widely used in many fields. In this paper, the composition, preparation method, domestic and international research process and development status, application of ultra-low expansion glass-ceramics are reviewed, and the existing problems in the production of ultra-low expansion glass-ceramics and the gap between the domestic ultra-low expansion glass-ceramics and the top international products, and the development direction of domestic ultra-low expansion glass-ceramics in the future are pointed out.

Key words: Li₂O-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ system glass, ultra-low expansion, β-quartz solid solution, glass-ceramics, controlled crystallization
