Different Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 glass-ceramics were prepared from blast furnace slag by sintering method. The structure and properties of glasses or glass-ceramics were investigated by DSC, XRD, SEM, FTIR, 27 Al MAS NMR. The DSC results showed that with the increase of Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 , the glass transition temperature (T g ) first decreased and then increased, reached the minimum when Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 was 0.34. The volume density, bending strength and microhardness of glass-ceramics also showed the same variation rule. Structural analysis showed that when the Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 increased from 0.19 to 0.34, Q 2 gradually transformed into Q 1 and Q 3 ; when the Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 continued to increase from 0.34 to 0.39, Q 1 and Q 3 decreased while Q 2 increased. The variation of [AlO 4 ] and [AlO 6 ] made the glass network structure the loosest when Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 was 0.34. Gehlenite was the main crystalline phase in glass-ceramics, and with the increase of Al 2 O 3 /SiO 2 , the precipitation of gehlenite increased, while the precipitation of diopside and hyalophane decreased.
