摘要:
In a known melting crucible for use in a crucible drawing method, it is provided that the interior face of the crucible wall facing a crucible interior space is covered at least partially with a protective layer made of a noble metal. The known melting crucible does have good corrosion resistance with respect to the quartz glass melt, but the material costs are high because of the expensive coating metals. In order to provide a melting crucible for use in a crucible drawing method for quartz glass that exhibits good corrosion resistance at low material costs, it is proposed that the protective layer (2) be composed of a gas-tight, oxidic material that is not subject to a phase transition in the temperature range of 20°C to 1800°C, and that the crucible interior space (17) have a gas space (17) above the quartz glass mass (27) to be held, and that the protective layer (2) be provided exclusively on the surface of the melting crucible interior face adjacent to the gas space (17).

In a known method for producing a mold body from synthetic quartz glass, quartz glass granules (15) are heated in an electrically heated melt container (31) to form a softened quartz glass mass (57), and the softened quartz glass mass (57) is formed to the mold body. In order to achieve an advantageous melting behavior also in continuous melting processes, it is proposed according to the invention that synthetically produced quartz glass granules (15) of granular particles are used in which helium is enclosed, wherein said quartz glass granules (15) are produced by granulating pyrogenically produced silicic acid with the formation of a SiO 2 granulate (9) and subsequent vitrification of the SiO 2 granulate in a rotary kiln (1), which has a rotary tube (6) which is at least partially made of a ceramic material, and under a treatment gas that contains at least 30% by volume of helium.

The present invention relates to a system for melting and processing glass for artistic use, and the associated method of use, which comprises a discontinuous-operation electric furnace having at least one charging mouth in its upper part and a discharge hole in its bottom part, a charging machine, suitable for introducing in succession, via said charging mouth, charges of material for melting, and a device for obtaining cullet, arranged in the vicinity of said discharge hole. The furnace has two heating elements, i.e. of the electrical resistance type and electrode type, respectively, which are immersed in the vitreous mass.

A vertical glass melting furnace (10) is provided with a material entrance (1) at the uppermost portion and a molten glass exit (2) is provided at the lowermost portion. A resistance heating element 6 is provided over the substantially entire part of the horizontal section of the furnace at at least one level which is immersed in the molten glass.

A forehearth for a glass furnace includes a roof formed of a plurality of roof blocks (22) designed to provide below the roof blocks a central longitudinal channel (36) and side channels (38, 40) on each side of the central channel. An electric heating element (60) is positioned in a bore (62) in the roof blocks substantially directly above the side channels (38, 40) to permit radiation of heat to the glass surface above the side channels (38, 40). The temperature of the molten glass utilizing the construction can be effectively uniformly controlled across its cross-section.
