Abstract

A commercial lithium aluminosilicate glass‐ceramic material is investigated by high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy after different heat treatments. Evidence is presented that epitaxy of β‐quartz crystals on ZrTiO 4 ‐type crystallites is the critical step initiating silicate crystallization.
