Abstract:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing a glass article includes flowing a glass ribbon through a housing having first and second side walls. The glass ribbon has first and second opposing major surfaces extending in a lengthwise and a widthwise direction. Ions are directed from an ionization source toward at least one of the first and second opposing major surfaces of the glass ribbon and/or an electrode directs particles away from at least one of the first and second opposing major surfaces of the glass ribbon. Such can reduce a density of particles on a major surface of the glass article formed from the glass ribbon.
Abstract:
A ceramic block consisting essentially of substantially homogeneous (Y2O3)x.P2O5, where 0.95≦x≦1.05, having length LL, a width WW and a height HH, and a volume VV of at least 8×10−3 m3 essentially free of cracks throughout the volume, a density of at least 85% of the theoretical maximal density of Y2O3.P2O5 under standard conditions, and a creep rate at 1250° C. and 6.89 MPa of CR, where CR≦8.0×10−6 hour−1, and method for making the same. The method utilizes a dry process where the starting YPO4-based ceramic material is synthesized by reacting anhydrous P2O5 with dry Y2O3 powder.
