摘要： In a known method for drawing a tubular quartz glass strand, SiO2-containing starting material is fed to a melting crucible, softened therein into a viscous quartz glass mass (27), and said mass is pulled vertically downward as a cylindrical quartz glass strand (5; 33) through a die (4; 34) provided in the bottom region of the melting crucible (1), said die having a gap-shaped outlet (25; 36), which is defined by a bottom opening and a die inside part, and thereafter the quartz glass cylinder is cut to length. In order to provide a method starting from this which facilitates the production of homogeneous quartz glass cylinders, even if the lateral dimensions thereof are in the range of the inside diameters of conventional melting crucibles (1), according to the invention the viscous quartz glass mass is drawn over a flow constriction (12; 32) provided in an upper region of the die (4; 34) and leading downward into the outlet (25; 36) via a flow channel, said region facing the crucible interior, wherein the outlet has an opening width that is larger than the width of the flow constriction (12; 32), and wherein a first minimum circumscribed circle around the flow constriction (12; 32) has a diameter that is a maximum of 30% of the diameter of a second minimum circumscribed circle around the quartz glass strand (5; 33) to be drawn. The invention further relates to a corresponding apparatus.

摘要： In a known method for coating a crucible for use at a high working temperature in a crucible drawing method for quartz glass, a base body wall of tungsten has applied thereto a protective layer containing a coating metal consisting of the group selected from iridium, rhenium, osmium and ruthenium. Starting therefrom, to provide a method for producing such a component exhibiting high corrosion resistance to the quartz glass melt at low material costs, it is suggested according to the invention that the protective layer should be produced from a layer material which contains tungsten and the coating metal, and in which the amount of the coating metal should be dimensioned such that it exceeds the limit amount of a coating metal-rich phase boundary of a solid mixture phase of tungsten and the coating metal, with the solid mixture phase being thermodynamically stable at the working temperature, by not more than 25 at. % (based on the total amount of tungsten and the coating metal in the layer material).

摘要： The invention relates to a known method for drawing a quartz glass cylinder from a melt crucible comprising an inner crucible chamber extending in the direction of a center crucible axis and bounded by a side wall and a floor, wherein SiO2 granulate is fed into the melt crucible and therein softened into a quartz glass mass, and said mass is drawn vertically downward as a cylindrical quartz glass strand by means of a first draw-off device through a first draw nozzle provided in the floor of the melt crucible, and the quartz glass cylinder is cut off therefrom. In order to disclose a method starting herefrom and allowing the production of homogenous quartz glass cylinder at simultaneously high levels of productivity, the invention proposes that at least one second quartz glass strand is drawn off through at least one further second draw nozzle provided in the floor of the melt crucible, wherein the first draw nozzle and the second draw nozzle are disposed eccentrically to the center crucible axis and at a distance from each other.

摘要： In a known method for drawing a tubular quartz glass strand, a crucible is fed with SiO2-containing start material, the start material is softened in the crucible and, as a softened quartz glass mass, is drawn vertically downwards as a tubular quartz glass strand along a drawing axis through an annular gap between an outer member and an inner member, which is arranged in a through hole of the outer member, of a drawing nozzle provided in the bottom area of the crucible. To improve the known method with respect to less inhomogeneity in the drawn-off tubular strand and thereby to permit the manufacture of homogeneous, defect-free hollow cylinders of quartz glass by drawing from the melt, it is suggested according to the invention that the inner member of the drawing nozzle, viewed in the direction of the drawing axis, is held suspended and radially movable inside the through hole of the outer member, and that the annular gap of the drawing nozzle has a longitudinal section “L” in which its cross-sectional nozzle area is reduced in size from the top to the bottom.
