Abstract
Disclosed is a process for preparing Li.sub.2 O--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 ceramic sintered bodies. Lithium fluoride powder is added to a calcined Li.sub.2 O--Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 powder prepared by sol-gel process as sintering agent. The resulting powder mixture is compressed into a molded article and sintered at a temperature of 950.degree.-1250.degree. C. to obtain the sintered bodies of the invention. The sintered bodies according to the present invention have a relative density of 97.9% and a thermal expansion coefficient of 10.sup.-7 /.degree.C. magnitude.
