Abstract
ZrO2-WO3-Al2O3 glasses were prepared by means of the melting and quenching method, and their thermal expansion, together with density and infrared absorption spectra, were measured. The thermal expansion was determined by using thermomechanical analyzer (TMA). The glass-forming region was in the range of ZrO2 5-25, WO3 65-75, Al2O3 5-15 mol%. The thermal expansion coefficients of the glasses in the system ZrW2O8-Al2(WO4)3 were 25×10-7 K-1, which is lower than that of pyrex. The results of density and infrared absorption spectra indicated that tungsten ions in these glasses take the 6-coordinated state, and aluminum ions the mixture of 4- and 6-coordinated states.
