The invention relates to a method for forming a glass item, in particular a three-dimensionally formed flat glass item, wherein the following steps are carried out: arranging a flat formation of glass, for example a flat glass pane of homogeneous thickness or a flat glass pane of inhomogeneous thickness or a preformed flat glass pane blank or liquid two-dimensionally spread glass, between a mould plunger and a melt of liquid metal, in particular tin; tempering of at least one part to be formed of the flat formation of glass to a forming temperature of the glass at which the glass has a viscosity in the range from 10 Pas to 106.5 Pas, preferably in the range from 10 Pas to 104 Pas and particularly preferably in the range from 10 Pas to 103 Pas; forming the flat formation of glass by moving the mould plunger and a surface of the molten metal towards each other, preferably by means of at least one linear movement, for example by means of a linear motor or servomotor, so that the flat formation of glass is pressurised either by the mould plunger on the one hand and by the molten metal on the other hand and is formed by the pressurisation on both sides and/or by suctioning and conforming the flat formation of glass onto the mould plunger; cooling the formed flat formation of glass to a handling temperature below the forming temperature at which the glass has a viscosity of ≥107 Pas; and demoulding the cooled flat formation; as well as a device for carrying out the method and a use of a molten metal for carrying out the method.

A method for fabricating a molding tool for mold glass optical elements therewith is taught. The method comprises the steps of figuring the molding tool to have a predetermined mold surface; applying an attenuating coating to the predetermined mold surface; implanting metal ions through the attenuating coating and into the predetermined mold surface; and removing the attenuating coating leaving the predetermined mold surface with metal ions implanted therein. The method of fabrication allows for the molding tool made therewith to be used for molding optical elements from eco-glasses such as titania at high temperatures without generating adverse surface chemistry effects in the molded element.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a molded article in the form of an optical element such as a glass lens by heat-softening a glass material such as optical glass and press molding it with high precision in a pressing mold as well as an objective lens for optical picking up. The method of manufacturing comprises press-molding a molding material to make a molded article, measuring an optical property of the molded article, correcting pressing rate of at least one of the pressing molds based on the optical property thus measured, and further press-molding to make a molded article with the corrected pressing rate. A pressing device comprising a pair of pressing molds having molding surfaces processed to prescribed shape, and a means of driving one of the pair of pressing molds at a prescribed rate to press mold a molding material supplied between the pressing molds is disclosed. The device further comprises a means for detecting an optical property, a shape or a number of the molded articles and a means for controlling driving of said means of driving by correcting pressing rate of the molds based on the detected property, shape or number.

摘要:
A mold construction is provided having a layered configuration including a substrate or mold core preferably of ampcoloy, an intermediate or primer coat preferably of electroless nickel, and an outer mold surface layer made of a high strength metal preferably of titanium. The mold construction is particularly advantageous for use in molding glass objects. The electroless nickel undercoat or primer coat serve to adhere the softer ampcoloy substrate to the high strength outer layer of titanium alloy. The electroless nickel also provides some elasticity for the outer layer of titanium alloy layer to reduce cracking and flaking of the titanium alloy. The layer of titanium alloy provides good strength and durability to withstand abrasive contact with the molten glass, while the ampcoloy still facilitates high thermal conductivity for reducing mold cycle times.

Precision glass molds are described, which are formed by coating a mold made from high purity, fme grain sized graphite, with a coating including titanium. In various implementations, the titanium coating is overcoated with yttria (Y2O3) to provide a high precision glass mold of superior performance character. The resultant glass molds can be used to form glass articles having a highly smooth finish, for high precision applications such as consumer electronic device applications, medical instruments, and optical devices. The use of high purity, fme grain size graphite allows molds to be machined at low cost, thereby eliminating the need to fabricate a metal mold that must be coated with multiple layers including metal diffusion barrier layers to meet operational requirements for such precision applications.
