The effects of sintering temperature on the negative thermal expansion properties of the β-eucryptite are investigated by x-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy, and thermal expansion test. The XRD results exhibit no change in the crystal structure of the sample prepared by different sintering processes. The negative thermal expansion properties increase with the increase of the sintering temperature. The coefficient of thermal expansion of β-eucryptite ceramics sintered at 1100℃ is calculated to be -4.93 × 10^（-6）℃^（-1）. Crystallization behaviors of the ceramics may play an important role in the increase of negative thermal expansion of β-eucryptite. High sintering temperature could improve the crystallization behaviors of the ceramics and reduce the residue glass phase, which can improve the negative thermal expansion properties of β-eucryptite ceramics.展开更多

The thermal expansion behavior of the composite was investigated, and the average residual stress in the matrix was analyzed by a simple model. The results indicate that the residual stress in the matrix affects the thermal expansion properties. After heat treatment, the coefficient of thermal expansion （CTE） of the composite decreases greatly. The CTE of the composite after thermal cycling between 50-350°C is the lowest.展开更多
