Abstract: A method of forming a flexible glass laminate is provided. The method includes charging a flexible glass substrate with an electrostatic charge and charging a laminate substrate with an electrostatic charge that has a polarity opposite a polarity of the charge on the flexible glass substrate. The flexible glass substrate and the laminate substrate are brought together, with an adhesive therebetween, thereby creating an adhesive bond and an electrostatic bond between the flexible glass substrate and the laminate substrate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for continuous edge separation in a continuous process for a ribbon of flexible brittle material such as a thin ribbon of glass is disclosed wherein an initial flaw or score is formed in the ribbon. The initial flaw is turned into a crack that propagates continuously throughout the processing of the ribbon. The cracking itself results in no material loss. After cracking, the cut side edge is routed along a path different than the interior quality region to avoid contact damage between the quality region and the edge portion. The quality region can be provided for further processing or be stored. The flexible, brittle ribbon can be sourced from a hot forming device or from a roll (spool) of substrate.

Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a tape advancing through the manufacturing system and a station of the manufacturing system. The tape includes a first portion having grains of an inorganic material bound by an organic binder. The station of the manufacturing system receives the first portion of the tape and prepares the tape for sintering by chemically changing the organic binder and/or removing the organic binder from the first portion of the tape, leaving the grains of the inorganic material, to form a second portion of the tape and, at least in part, prepare the tape for sintering.

Abstract: A furnace may include a furnace muffle that can accommodate relatively larger workpieces than other furnaces. The furnace muffle may include a cover that includes one or more sets of plates. The plates may be configured to prevent sag during extended runtimes while still enabling the furnace to reach a temperature (e.g., a temperature between 1590° C. and 1650° C.) for sintering a workpiece. In some examples, the cover may include a first set of plates of a first material (e.g., a first alumina refractory material) and a second set of plates of a second material (e.g., a second alumina refractory material). The second material may have greater thermal conductivity than the first material. Accordingly, plates of the second set may be located in higher temperature zones of the furnace to enable efficient heat transfer from heater elements through the furnace muffle to a contact plate where a workpiece is heated.

Abstract: A method of continuously processing glass ribbon having a thickness ≤0.3 mm. The method includes providing a glass processing apparatus having a first processing zone, a second processing zone and a third processing zone. The glass ribbon is continuously fed from the first processing zone, through the second processing zone to the third processing zone. The feed rate of the glass ribbon is controlled through each processing zone using a global control device. A first buffer zone is provided between the first processing zone and the second processing zone in which the glass substrate is supported in a first catenary between two, spaced-apart, payoff positions. A second buffer zone is provided between the second processing zone and the third processing zone in which the glass substrate is supported in a second catenary between two, spaced-apart, payoff positions.

Abstract: A system and method for making an edge section of a thin, high purity fused silica glass sheet. The method includes a step of directing a laser to melt through the glass sheet with localized heating of a narrow portion of the glass sheet to form an edge section of the glass sheet, and continuing the edge section to form a closed loop defining a perimeter of the glass sheet. The method further includes rapidly cooling the glass sheet through the glass transition temperature as the melted glass of the edge section contracts and/or solidifies to form an unrefined-bullnose shape extending between first and second major surfaces of the glass sheet.
