Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a crystallized Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass having low expansion coefficient, excellent transparency, high quality and extremely low void content. CONSTITUTION:A glass raw material corresponding to 100 pts.wt. of glass is incorporated with 0.2-1.0 pts.wt. of As oxide (in terms of As2O3) as a clarifying agent and 0.05-2.0 pts.wt. of a chloride (in terms of Cl). The obtained glass raw material is melted by a continuous melting furnace, slowly cooled and subjected to two-stage heat-treatment to obtain the objective Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass having low expansion coefficient.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, there has been a demand for low-expansion materials with extremely small coefficients of thermal expansion and excellent heat resistance. As an existing material that almost satisfies these characteristics, quartz glass is known to have a very small coefficient of thermal expansion of -5 x 10-7 K-1, but its high melting point makes it difficult to manufacture and is generally not used. It's expensive. Furthermore, Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2-based crystallized glass is known as a low-expansion material that has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is approximately the same as or even smaller than that of quartz glass and has excellent heat resistance. Many studies have been conducted on this type of crystallized glass, and some of them have even been commercialized.

However, this type of glass generally has a high viscosity and is difficult to refine. For this reason, a large amount of As oxide has been used to promote the fining of glass. The clarification effect increases as the amount of As oxide added to the glass raw material increases, but since As oxide is highly toxic and expensive, it is not preferable to use a large amount. Also, for example, JP-A-60-255634
In this publication, cerium dioxide or a wax compound is used as a refining agent for this type of glass, but this is not preferable because the obtained crystallized glass exhibits an amber color.

As a result of further research, it was discovered that the refining effect can be dramatically improved by adding a small amount of As oxide and the above-mentioned chloride in combination within a very limited range. That is, with respect to the glass raw material equivalent to 100 parts by weight of glass, 0.2 to 1.0 parts by weight of As oxide is contained in terms of As2O3, and chloride is added to Cl.
It is contained in a range of 0.05 to 2.0 parts by weight in terms of conversion.

[Examples] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples. Glass 100 as shown in Table 1
Each glass raw material corresponding to parts by weight was mixed with KCl and As2O3 as refining agents. The prepared glass raw material was heated and melted at 1550° C. using a continuous melting kiln capable of melting 50 kg per day, and then cast into a mold and slowly cooled to obtain a sample glass. Furthermore, this sample glass was placed in a furnace for 7
A two-step heat treatment of 1 hour at 60° C. and 1 hour at 860° C. was performed to precipitate microcrystals in the glass, thereby obtaining crystallized glass.
