Abstract:
A method for producing a cavity in a substrate composed of hard brittle material is provided. A laser beam of an ultrashort pulse laser is directed a side surface of the substrate and is concentrated by a focusing optical unit to form an elongated focus in the substrate. Incident energy of the laser beam produces a filament-shaped flaw in a volume of the substrate. The filament-shaped flaw extends into the volume to a predetermined depth and does not pass through the substrate. To produce the filament-shaped flaw, the ultrashort pulse laser radiates in a pulse or a pulse packet having at least two successive laser pulses. After at least two filament-shaped flaws are introduced, the substrate is exposed to an etching medium which removes material of the substrate and widens the at least two filament-shaped flaws to form filaments. At least two filaments are connected to form a cavity.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for preparing a substrate with a coating from a paste comprising the following steps: (a) providing a substrate; (b) preparing a paste from a glass frit to which ferromagnetic pigments and a flux agent are admixed; (c) applying the paste onto a surface of the substrate; (d) aligning the paste by means of a magnetic field; and (e) burning-in of the paste.
Abstract:
A substrate of glass or glass ceramics having a semitransparent coating is provided. The semitransparent coating has high scratch resistance, good temperature stability, and good adhesion on a sealing layer. The coating material has at least one sol-gel-based matrix, to which colorants are added, and that a polyester-functionalized and/or an epoxy-functionalized silicone resin, such as a polyester-modified silicone resin, is added to the sol-gel-based matrix.
