Abstract

An alkali free glass has an average coefficient of thermal expansion at 50 to 350° C. of 30×10 −7 to 43×10 −7 /° C., a Young's modulus of 88 GPa or more, a strain point of 650 to 725° C., a temperature T 4 at which a viscosity reaches 10 4 dPa·s of 1,290° C. or lower, a glass surface devitrification temperature (T c ) of T 4 +20° C. or lower, and a temperature T 2 at which the viscosity reaches 10 2 dPa·s of 1,680° C. or lower. The alkali free glass contains, as represented by mol % based on oxides, 62 to 67% of SiO 2 , 12.5 to 16.5% of Al 2 O 3 , 0 to 3% of B 2 O 3 , 8 to 13% of MgO, 6 to 12% of CaO, 0.5 to 4% of SrO, and 0 to 0.5% of BaO. MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO is 18 to 22%, and MgO/CaO is 0.8 to 1.33.
