Abstract: The thermal expansion coefficient of fluosilicate glass-ceramics is mainly affected by the crystal phases and their amount.Diopside crystals in fluosilicate glass-ceramics tend to lower thermal expansion coefficient, while richterite crystals in fluosilicate glass-ceramics tend to increase thermal expansion coefficient.The lowest thermal edpansion coefficient of K2O-MgO-SiO2-CaF2 fluosilicate glass-ceramics is 78.4×10-7(20-300℃), while the highest thermal expansion coefficient of this glass-ceramics is 85.6×10-7(20-300℃)

Key words: thermal expansion coefficient, glass-ceramics, fluosilicate
