Parent glasses were prepared, then nucleated and crystallized at certain temperatures for 3-4 h. The crystallization kinetics of glass-ceramics was also studied. The grain size was estimated by Scherrer formula and image treatment of transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results showed that the Avrami exponent was determined to be 3.88, the activation energy 189.3＋7 k J/tool and the grain size 30-60 nm. A detailed microstructure of the glass-ceramics, including grain distribution and the morphology of nano-crystalline was characterized by TEM, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, differential scanning calorimeter （DSC）, differential thermal analysis （DTA）.
