ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to the production of transparent glass-ceramic articles demonstrating linear coefficients of thermal expansion of less than 10.times.10.sup.-7 /.degree.C. and exhibiting a blue or gray coloration. The articles are prepared by heat treating reducing precursor glass articles consisting essentially, in weight percent as calculated from the batch, of 2.5-3.5% Li.sub.2 O, 1.5-2.5% MgO, 17.75-20% Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 64-70% SiO.sub.2, 2-4.5% TiO.sub.2, 1-2% ZrO.sub.2, 0-2% BaO, and 0.2-0.5% Cl, wherein alkali metals other than Li.sub.2 O, alkaline earth oxides other than MgO and BaO, ZnO, and B.sub.2 O.sub.3 are essentially absent therefrom.
