Water-glass-based pastes show good prospect for high-temperature applications, but they are subject to substantial dry-shrinkage. Silicon and aluminum powders were added to prevent the dry-shrinkage. The influence of them on compressive strength, bonding strength and volume of the pastes was discussed. SEM, XRD, and TG/ DSC were employed to study the influencing mechanisms. The results show that Si and Al effectively prevented the dry-shrinkage; Al improved compressive strength and bonding strength, while Si was bad for bonding strength. When Al dosage was 6%, the pastes presented mild expansion of 1.05%, the compressive strength increased by 8.9%, and the bonding strength by 33.4%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
