This paper presents the results of investigations 
of the strength and elastic properties of the glass-ceramic obtained 
by novel technology with the use of the method of casting blanks from 
high-density aqueous suspensions of lithium alumosilicate glass into 
porous moulds followed by their sintering and crystallization under 
combined conditions of thermal treatment. Comparison of the properties 
of the proposed glass-ceramic with the properties of the glass-ceramics 
obtained by conventional technology enabled us to gain a better insight 
into its potentialities and provide the necessary information for 
calculating the structural strength.
