Crystallization sequence of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2 system glass was investigated by means of DTA, XRD, SEM and EDS. The relationship between crystalline phases, heat treatment methods and thermal expansion coefficient (α) were well discussed. The results have shown that: The glass first underwent extensive phase separation into titanium-rich droplets in a silica-rich matrix, then magnesium aluminotitanate (MAT) initially precipitated in the droplet phases. With the crystallization temperature increased, β-quartzss, sapphirine, α-quartzss and α-cordierite made their appearance successively. The thermal expansion coefficient as a function of the heat treatment condition was studied.

B2O3- or P2O5-doped Li2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (LMAS) glass-ceramics were prepared by solid state method using Li2CO3, MgO, Al2O3 and SiO2 as the raw materials, B2O3 or P2O5 as the additives. The effects of adding B2O3 and P2O5 on the phase separation, crystallization and thermal expansion coefficient were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal dilatometer, respectively. The results showed that B2O3 or P2O5 addition could promoted phase separation of glass and increased the size of spherical phase separation droplet. With the addition of B2O3 or P2O5, the crystallization temperatures (Tc) of LMAS system decreased from 764 oC to 726 oC and 764 oC to 750 oC, respectively. However, the crystalline phase compositions did not changed, and β-quartz solid solution (s.s) (Li2Al2Si3O10) was still the main crystalline phase, and lithium silicate (Li2SiO3) and forsterite (Mg2SiO4) were the minor phases. The thermal expansion coefficient (α) of B2O3-doped and P2O5-doped LMAS glass-ceramics in the temperature range 20-600 oC were 5.215×10-6/ oC and 5.008×10-6/ oC, respectively, which were higher than that of LMAS glass-ceramics (α=3.790×10-6/ oC).

The glass-ceramics of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system were prepared by sintering technology. The crystallization process of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics was investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other techniques; the discussion of breaking strength, thermal expansion coefficient and relevant properties at different sintering temperatures was also presented. The results show that: (1) The main crystalline phase isα-cordierite at different sintering temperatures, and the samples show high flexural strength and low thermal expansion coefficient; (2) with the increase of sintering temperature, the content of crystal phase increases, while the thermal expansion coefficient decreases evidently, the flexural strength and tightness density rise up first, then go down.

In this paper, negative thermal expansion coefficient eucryptite powders were prepared by sol-gel method using silica-sol as starting material. The raw blocks were obtained by dry pressing process after the powder was synthesized, and then the raw blocks were heat-treated at 600º, 1150º, 1280º, 1380º, 1420º and 1450°C, respectively. Variations of density, porosity and thermal expansion coefficient at different heat treatment temperatures were investigated. Phase transformation and fracture surface morphology of eucryptite heat-treated at different temperatures, respectively, were observed by XRD and SEM. The results indicate that, with the increasing heat- treatment temperature, the grain size and the bending strength increased, porosity decreased, thermal expansion coefficient decreased continuously. Negative thermal expansion coefficient of -5.3162×10-6~-7.4413×10-6 (0~800°C) was obtained. But when the heat-treatment temperature was more than 1420°C, porosity began to increase, bending strength began to decrease, which were the symbols of over-burning, while the main crystal phase didn’t change.

The temperature characteristics of RuO2-based thick film resistors on various substratcs having different thermal expansion coefficient have been investigated.It became clear that, if the thermal expansion coefficient of the substrate is larger than that of the thick film resistor, a compression is being exerted by the substrate on the as-fired resistor at low temperature. As temperature rises, the resistance value increases, and the TCR becomes positive.On the contrary, if the thermal expansion coefficient of the resistor is larger than that of the substrate, the as-fired resistor is being stretched by the substrate at low temperature. As temperature rises, the resistancc value decreases, and the TCR becomes negative.

Beta-spodumene glass-ceramic powder was prepared by Sol–gel route. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TOES), aluminum nitrate, lithium carbonate were used as starting materials. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were utilized to characterize the dried LAS gels and glass-ceramic blocks. The results suggest beta-spodumene is the only crystals phase in the prepared LAS glass-ceramics powder when sintering temperature is 950 °C. The average particle size of the beta-spodumene crystal is about 30 nm with a narrow size distribution both in prepared LAS glass-ceramics powder and block. The thermal expansion coefficient of moulding pressed blocky LAS glass-ceramics is lower than 0.6×10-6 oC-1.
