Zusammenfassung: | The present application relates to glass-ceramics that are white, opalescent or opaque, of the lithium aluminosilicate (LAS) type, containing a solid solution of β-spodumene as the main crystalline phase. The application also provides articles that are constituted, at least in part, of said glass-ceramics, precursor glasses for said glass-ceramics, and a method of preparing said article. Said glass-ceramics have a composition that is free from arsenic oxide and antimony oxide, with the exception of inevitable traces, and that contains the following, expressed as percentages by weight of oxides: 60% to 70% of SiO2, 18% to 23% of Al2O3, 3.0% to 4.3% of Li2O, 0 to 2% of MgO, 1 to 4% of ZnO, 0 to 4% of BaO, 0 to 4% of SrO, 0 to 2% of CaO, 1.3% to 1.75% of TiO2, 1% to 2% of ZrO2, 0.05% to 0.6% of SnO2, 0 to 2% of Na2O, 0 to 2% of K2O, 0 to 2% of P2O5, 0 to 2% of B2O3, with Na2O+K2O+BaO+SrO+CaO≤6% and Na2O+K2O≤2%, and a maximum of 500 ppm of Fe2O3. |
