Abstract

Suppression of a high expansion cristobalite phase during sintering of high silica glass frits crystallizing in situ to predominantly a low-expansion .beta.-spodumene solid solution phase is accomplished by either melting a suppressant compound with the glass batch or adding the suppressant to the glass frit prior to sintering, the cristobalite suppressant being selected from the oxides of the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, yttrium, lanthanum, titanium, niobium, tantalum, boron, zinc, lead and antimony. The oxides with divalent and tetravalent cations are selected in quantities of up to about 0.02 moles of suppressant per 100 grams of glass and the other suppressants are selected in quantities up to about 0.01 moles per 100 grams of glass.
