This book provides an in-depth overview of low thermal expansion glass-ceramic materials, covering their scientific foundations, manufacturing technologies, and practical applications. It introduces the mechanisms of glass crystallization, various production methods for glass-ceramics, and the key thermal, mechanical, and optical properties that make these materials valuable in advanced engineering applications. Particular attention is given to Zerodur®, a high-performance glass-ceramic developed by Schott, renowned for its exceptional dimensional stability and widespread use in precision optical systems, astronomical telescope mirrors, metrology equipment, and aerospace technologies. This revised edition also includes updated discussions on the performance of glass-ceramic materials in industrial applications, precision machining techniques such as CDC grinding, and laser gyroscope systems incorporating Zerodur®. The book serves as a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, graduate students, and professionals working in the fields of materials science, glass technology, ceramic engineering, precision optics, and advanced functional materials.
