Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The process for producing a transparent lithium aluminosilicate glass ceramic plate includes ceramicizing a green glass body of the Li 2 O—Al 2 O—SiO 2 system using a ceramization program, which includes heating it, for the purpose of nucleation, to a temperature of 750° C.±20° C. and maintaining the temperature for 20±15 minutes, further heating the green glass body, for the purpose of ceramization, to a temperature of 900±20° C. and maintaining the to temperature for 20±15 minutes and then cooling to room temperature. The transparent plate has a thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) from −0.15×10 −6 /K to +0.15×10 −6 /K at 30 to 700° C. and a brightness value observed at an angle of 2° of ≧80 for a 4-mm thick plate for transmitted normal light.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is new and is set forth in the following appended claims: 1. A process for producing a transparent plate, said process comprising the following steps: a) preparing a green glass body comprising glass of a Li 2 O—Al 2 O—SiO 2 system; and b) using a ceramization program, said ceramization program comprising heating the green glass body, for the purpose of nucleation, to a nucleation temperature of 750±20° C. and holding said nucleation temperature for 20±15 minu…
