Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for producing a glass-ceramic with a defined zero crossing of the CTE-T curve (CTE: coefficient of thermal expansion), and glass-ceramic products produced using the process according to the invention.
Claims10
A process for producing a glass-ceramic which has a zero crossing of the CTE-T curve at a selected temperature TA±10° C., comprising providing a glass-ceramic or a green body of a glass-ceramic and ceramicizing in accordance with a ceramicizing program, determination of which comprises determining the CTE-T curve, wherein
- a) the determination of the CTE-T curve comprises
- providing a green body or a pre-ceramicized glass-ceramic,
- determining Δl/l0−T measurement points for the glass-ceramic in a temperature range TA±50° C.,
- matching a polynomial to the Δl/l0−T measurement points, and
- deriving the polynomial to obtain a CTE-T curve;
- or
- b) the zero crossing of the CTE-T curve is set at TA±7° C.;
- or
- c) the zero crossing of the CTE-curve is set at TA±5° C.;
- or
- d) the glass-ceramic is ceramicized in at least two ceramicizing steps.
