Abstract:
A method of manufacturing glass bodies, in which the starting material for the glass body, in the form of microdispersed SiO.sub.2 particles, is used to form an open-pore green body which is subjected to a cyclic purification process in which the impurities present in the green body react with a purifying gas which is heated to a temperature in the range from 600.degree. to 900.degree. C., after which the green body is sintered; in each cycle of the said process, the arrangement holding the green body to be purified being flushed and subsequently evacuated.
Abstract:
A layer consisting of a grinding medium such as corundum, SiC, emery or quartz sand is provided in a mould for the production of glass objects. A portion of this layer sticks to the glass work piece formed in this mould and is used for a subsequent surface processing procedure.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing optical glasses and colored glasses with the aid of a fluid phase sintering process from a basic material encompassing at least SiO.sub.2 powder as well as additives for reducing the temperature of the fluid phase sintering and/or melting process encompassing the following steps: the starting materials are dissolved in any sequence in a fluid medium to produce a solution as far as is possible and a suspension to the extent that they are not dispersed in solution; a greenbody is produced from the dissolved and dispersed starting materials; the greenbody is dried the dried greenbody is fluid-phase sintered at temperatures below 1200° C., in particular in the temperature range from 600° C. to 1200° C.

A green body produced therefrom with a green density of between 40 and 85%. A shaped glass article of optical quality with a coefficient of thermal expansion of not more than 0.5×10−6/K produced from the green body.
Abstract:
A method of drying ceramic green bodies, in which the green body is supported by a gas cushion and dried in a suspended position, while employing an arrangement comprising a filtering element which is adapted to the geometry of the green body to be dried, into which filtering element gas, preferably compressed air, can be introduced under pressure by a pipe supply. The gas issues from the filtering element's surface facing the green body to be dried through pore-like apertures which are envenly distributed over the whole surface where they form a gas cushion.
Abstract:
Method and equipment for the manufacture of glass bodies in which a porous green body is formed from the starting material for the glass body in the form of a thixotropic suspension, is dried, purified and then sintered, during which process the starting material is transformed into a state with minimum viscosity and homogenized by the introduction of mechanical forces, is poured in the low-viscosity state into a mould of hydrophobic material corresponding to the shape of the glass body to be manufactured and is dried in the mould until a shrinkage of approximately 10% is achieved and then, after removal from the mould, is subjected to further processing steps to produce the glass body.
Abstract:
Method and equipment for the manufacture of glass bodies wherein a porous green body is formed by extrusion from the starting material for the glass body in the form of a thixotropic suspension and this green body is then purified and sintered, during which process the starting material is brought in a state of minimum viscosity into an extruding press closed at its outlet end, is heated in the extruding press to a temperature below the boiling point of the dispersing liquid and then, after the extruding press is opened, is extruded into a green body of dimensionally stable shape by means of the die of the extruding press.
