    摘要: A method of producing glass sheets includes the step of fusion drawing a glass ribbon along a draw direction into a viscous zone downstream from a root of a forming wedge. The method further includes the step of drawing the glass ribbon into a setting zone downstream from the viscous zone, wherein the glass ribbon is set from a viscous state to an elastic state. The method further includes the steps of drawing the glass ribbon into an elastic zone downstream from the setting zone and stabilizing a region of the glass ribbon in the elastic zone along a width of the glass ribbon extending transverse with respect to the draw direction. A predetermined pressure differential between a first side and a second side of the glass ribbon is used to create the stabilized region. The method further includes the step of cutting a glass sheet from the glass ribbon, wherein the stabilized region inhibits shape instabilities from propagating upstream through the glass ribbon to the setting zone.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for controlling the stress in, and the shape of, the glass ribbon (15) formed in a downdraw glass manufacturing process (e.g., the fusion downdraw process) are provided. In certain embodiments, the control is achieved by cooling the bead portions (21a, 21b) of the ribbon (15) at a rate which provides a heat flux Q″b at the thickest part of the bead (23a, 23b) which is given by Q″b=Q″q+ΔQ″, where (i) Q″q is the heat flux at a transverse position adjacent to the bead portion (21a, 21b) at which the ribbon's thickness equals 1.05*tcenter, where tcenter is the final thickness at the ribbon's center line (17), and (ii) ΔQ″≧(tb/tq−1)Q″q+10 kilowatts/meter2, where tb is the thickness of the thickest part of the bead portion. The cooling can take place along the entire length of the ribbon (15) or at selected locations, e.g., in the portion (50) of the draw which includes the glass transition temperature region (31) or the portion (60) of the draw where individual glass sheets (13) are cut from the ribbon (15).

    摘要: In a method of making a glass sheet using an overflow fusion downdraw process, a glass sheet quality metric level Q1 is selected, where Q1 is a measure of allowable retardation in the glass sheet. A glass ribbon temperature T1 at which a potential glass ribbon thermal artifact could occur in a glass ribbon while the glass ribbon is being drawn through a drawing machine enclosure is identified. A thermal artifact envelope E1 is determined, where E1 contains types of glass ribbon thermal artifacts allowable at T1 and Q1. A glass melt is overflowed from an isopipe to form a glass ribbon at the root of the isopipe. The glass ribbon is drawn below the root of the isopipe through the drawing machine enclosure to form the glass sheet. The drawing machine enclosure is altered at a location corresponding to where the glass ribbon would be at T1 such that during drawing of the glass ribbon the potential glass ribbon thermal artifact is not formed in the glass ribbon at T1 or, if the potential glass ribbon thermal artifact is formed in the glass ribbon at T1, the potential glass ribbon thermal artifact is within E1.
