The system BaO/Al2O3/B2O3 has first been described by MacDowell [8], here already a comparably small thermal expansion coefficient was reported. Glass–ceramics with zero expansion coefficients based on other systems have scarcely been described in the literature. Recently, the crystallization of the bulk glass, the behavior during sintering of glass powder and the effect of platinum as nucleating agent, as well as the resulting thermal expansion in this system have been reported [1] and [9]. Here, a notable effect of the preparation procedure and hence the microstructure on the thermal expansion was reported. This is due to the strongly anisotropic thermal expansion coefficient of the rhombohedral phase BaO · Al2O3 · B2O3 which is strongly negative in the direction of the crystallographic c-axis. With respect to the a-axis, the thermal expansion is approximately zero up to 150 °C and then gets positive. Depending on the preparation procedure, glass–ceramics are obtained which thermal expansion coefficients are zero or, however, negative at room temperature.
In this paper, the crystallization of non-stoichiometric glasses as well as the resulting thermal expansions are described.
