摘要:
A method of producing a glass vessel includes holding a borosilicate glass tube with a first holding device, and holding an open end portion of the glass tube with a second holding device such that the second holding device is spaced apart from the first holding device. Heat is applied to the glass tube by a burner to separate the open end portion and form a bottom portion on the open end portion. Fire-blast treatment of an inner surface of the open end portion with a flame from a point burner is performed during at least a part of (i) applying heat to the borosilicate glass tube for separation, (ii) applying heat to the separated open end portion for bottom portion formation, and/or (iii) a period applying heat to the separated open end portion and prior to releasing the glass vessel from the second holding device.

A method includes indirectly engaging a surface of a moving ribbon of inorganic material with a non-contacting support unit. The ribbon is severed with a thermal separating unit while the non-contacting support unit is indirectly engaged with the ribbon.

A sealed glass tube containing a luminophor and a radioactive gas is subdivided by heating the tube to fusion by means of a laser beam. The tube is heated within a sealed enclosure and means are provided for regulating the pressure within the enclosure so that the pressure exceeds that within the glass tube.

A method for severing a glass sheet includes preferentially heating a region of the glass sheet to form a softened region. A slit is formed in the softened region of the glass sheet to form a slit region. The slit extends at least partially into a thickness of the glass sheet. Heat is preferentially applied to the slit region of the glass sheet.

An improved method and an improved apparatus are provided for producing a thin glass ribbon, which provide borders at the edges of the ribbon. The edges formed are of high mechanical quality and a formation of new secondary borders after the severing or at least the thickness of such secondary borders is reduced compared to the original borders. The method includes drawing the thin glass ribbon from a molten glass or from a preform, severing the borders, and cooling the resulting glass ribbon. The severing is effected at a location along the moving direction of the thin glass ribbon and at a time at which during the cooling of the thin glass ribbon the viscosity of the glass is in a range from 107 dPa·s to 1011 dPa·s, so that the edges of the thin glass ribbon newly produced by the severing of the borders are rounded off.

A method for thermally treating an annular region of an inner surface of a glass container produced from a borosilicate glass tube is provided. The annular region is disposed at a tubular portion of the glass container and is disposed adjacent to a glass container bottom. The method includes: forming the glass container bottom from the glass tube; heating the annular region of the inner surface of the tubular portion to a treatment temperature TBeh above the transformation temperature TG, wherein the annular region is adjacent to the glass container bottom; maintaining the treatment temperature TBeh for a certain time period; and cooling the glass container to room temperature.

Methods and apparatus for machining substrates are disclosed, as are articles formed from the separated substrates. A method of machining a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface can include forming a first recess in the substrate extending from the first surface toward the second surface, forming a second recess in the substrate extending from the second surface toward the first surface, and removing a portion of the substrate extending from the first recess to the second recess to form an opening in the substrate.
摘要:
Flat membranes from foils of organic polymers, glass or ceramic materials have pores tapering in funnel-shaped fashion, with a fixed pore size and a pore size distribution of less than 10% and an arrangement of the pores in a pattern of adjacent rows, wherein the average pore diameters range from 0.05 to 10 .mu.m and the pore patterns are evenly arranged in a regularly bounded area and, between the individual pores, have remaining webs with varying heights in the plane parallel to the increase in thickness of the foil material. It is manufactured through erosion of the pores by use of one or more intensity-modulated laser beams and continuous transport of the foil past the laser or lasers, with a pulse duration ranging from 1 to 1000 ns.
摘要:
In a laser beam glass cutting method, a glass article to be cut (for example a moulded tumbler having a moil) is maintained at a high temperature below the softening point of the glass and then the glass is repeatedly irradiated with a laser beam along the required cut-off line by rotating the glass. During this step, a tensile force is applied by gravity or by a mechanical device to the part to be cut off. Following removal of the part, the edge of the glass is irradiated again with the laser beam to effect fire-polishing thereof, so as to improve the shape of that edge. During the irradiation by the laser beam, an auxiliary inert gas is blown into the glass article to prevent glass deposition.
