The reason of abnormal expansion in BaTiO3 synthesized in the equimolecular mixture and synthesized in Ba-rich region were investigated at the point of crystal and microstructure. The shrinkage and the expansion of the mixtures in BaCO3-TiO2 system were determined by the mass of BaCO3 added to the equimolecular BaCO3 and TiO2, Ba2TiO4 which was much formed and BaTi2O3 were important crystal in the reaction of Ba-rich region. Sintering phenomena of unreacted BaCO3 activity and the secondary phase caused to generate microcracks in the specimens.
