Introduction Definition: Physically :

Glass may physically be defined as a rigid, undercooled liquid having no definite melting point and a sufficiently high viscosity greater than 10^12 Pa.s to prevent crystallization.

Chemically:Glass is chemically defined as the union of the non volatile inorganic oxides

resulting from the decomposition and fusion of alkali and alkaline earth compounds, sand and other glass constituents, ending in a product with random structure.

Formation of Soda ash

NATURALLY: Erosion of igneous rock from sodium

deposits. Transport by waters as runoff and collect in basins when sodium comes in contact with CO2 precipitates out sodium carbonate.

CHEMICALLY: Chemically soda ash is

obtained by Solvay process

Conti… AMORPHOUS:

In condensed matter physics, an amorphous (meaning without shape or form) or non crystalline solid that lacks the long range order characteristic of a crystal.

Brittleness: A material is brittle if, when subjected to stress it breaks without

significant deformation.

Wah Engineering College, Wah Cantt. 12

Conti… TRANSPARENCY AND TRANSLUENCE: In the field of optics, transparency is the physical property of allowing light

to pass through materials; translucency allows light to pass through diffusely.

Capacity to absorb different colors without effecting transparency

DISPERSION:In optics dispersion is the phenomenon in which phase velocity or a wave

depends upon its frequency or alternatively when the group velocity depends on the frequency. Media having such a property are termed dispersive media.

In a prism, material dispersion causes different colours to refract at different angles splitting white light into a rainbow.

Conti… VITRIFICATION:

It is a word (from Latin vitrium “glass” via French vitrifier) is the deformation of a substance into a glass. Usually, it is achieved by rapid cooling a liquid through the glass transition. Certain chemical reactions also result in glasses.

Raw materials Following are the raw materials.1. Sand:

2. Soda ash: Forms basic part of glass

3. Sodium nitrate: Accelerates melting

4. CaO: Forms the basic part of glass.

5. Silica: Forms acidic part of glass.

Manufacturing process FOLLOWING ARE THE STEPS FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF

GLASS:

1. MELTING:2. SHAPING AND FORMING:3. ANNEALING:4. FINISHING:

Conti… MELTING:

Based on the type of the glass suitable glass manufacture materials are selected. Raw materials are reduced in size by crushing and grinding. Raw materials are now subjected to melting in furnace.

POT FURNACE. TANK FURNACE.

Pot furnace: For special glasses like optical glass. Raw materials are melted in pot furnace made of

ceramic material capacities varying from 1-2 tons and is used for small production batches

28/05/2k14

Page 18: Glass industry presentation

Wah Engineering College, Wah Cantt. 18

Conti… TANK FURNACE:

Molten glass is obtained by melting the raw materials in 1350-1400 ton capacity regenerative tank furnace and can be used in continuous processes. During melting of raw materials various reactions occur at various temperatures.

Chemical reactions :

Na2CO3 +aSiO2 Na2O.aSiO2+CO2

CaCO3+bSiO2 CaO.bSiO2+CO2

Na2SO4+cSiO2+C Na2O.cSiO2+SO2+CO

Conti… SHAPING OR FORMING :

Glass may be shaped by either machine or hand molding. The outstanding factor to be considered in machine molding is that the design of the glass machine should be such that the article is completed in very few seconds. During this relatively short time the glass changes from a viscous liquid to a clear solid. The design problems like flow of heat, stability of metals, and clearance of bearings should be solved.

• Fourcault process window glass• Colburn process window glass• Continuous automatic process plate glass• Float process float glass• Glass blowing bottles, light bulbs, tubing

Conti… ANNEALING:To reduce internal stresses; in annealing oven.

• Walls are comparatively thick and cooling will not be even.

• The inner and outer skins of a glass become rigid.

• The still contracting inner portion build up internal stresses.

• Uneven cooling develop substantial stresses in the glass.

• Glass passes through a lehr after removal from the blow mold.

• Lehr is a belt passing through the controlled temperature oven of about 200mm-300mm per minute. Glass temperature is raised to 565 *C and then gradually cooled to room temperature with all internal stresses reduced to safe level in about an hour as they exit.

• Improperly annealed glass are fragile and high breakage.

Conti… FINISHING:

All types of annealed glass must undergo certain finishing operations, which are simple and important. These include:

• Cleaning.

• Grinding.

• Polishing.

• Cutting.

• Sandblasting.

• Grading etc.

Although these are not required for every glass object, one or more is almost necessary.

Simple glass Float glass:• Pilkington Brothers in England it employs the tank furnace

melting system• Molten glass passes through narrow canal which connects

furnace and tin bath• Rate of flow is controlled by gate that spans the canal• controlled heating melts irregularities and produces both sides

flat and parallel

Conti… Glass tubing:• The Danner process was developed for the continuous

production of glass tubing and rods• Glass flows from a furnace in the form of a ribbon, and passed

through a revolving hollow pipe inclined at 30⁰• Glass flows and air is blown to form a tube, a belt pair grip it

and draw it at uniform speed• Temperature, speed of drawing, volume of air blown control

the dia and wall thickness of tube

Conti… Light bulb:•  "ribbon machine" is used for the process• ribbon of glass is passed along a conveyor belt, heated in a furnace•  then blown by air nozzles through holes in the conveyor belt into

molds• Bulb envelope is formed• The filament and its supports are assembled on a glass stem, which

is fused to the bulb• the air inside the bulb is evacuated, and the casing is filled with an

argon and nitrogen mixture.

Special Glass Fused Silica Glass:• May be made by pure silica.• Manufactured by Corning by high temp pyrolysis of SiCl4.• This process lends itself naturally to controls which permit

chemically pure SiO2.• The raw silica produced in the form of plates or boules.• The high temp give pure glass with low contaminants with

ratio of 1:100.• It have lowest ultrasonic absorption of any material.• It have low thermal of expansion that is why this is used in

telescopes.

Conti… High Silica Glass:• This is also known as Vycor.• It is imp and advance in production of fused silica in

composition and properties.• The product contain 96% silica, 3% boric oxide and rest is

alumina and alkali.• Borrosilicate glass compositions of about 75% silica content in

which glass is melted and molded. After cooling the articles are subjected to heat treatment and annealing which is induce the glass to separate into tow distinct phases.

• One phase is High in boric and alkaline so dissolve in hot acid soln.

• Second is rich in silica and insoluble in those soln.28/05/2k14

Conti… Decorated and Colored Glass:• Transparent colored glass are essential for science and technical

use. These are three types;a). Color is produced by the absorption of certain light frequencies by agent in solution of glass.The coloring agents are oxides of Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu.So NiO dissolved in sodium lead glass yields brown color.b). Color is produced by colloidal particles ppted within an originally colorless glass by heat treatment. Example, ppt of colloidal gold producing gold ruby glass.c). Color is produced by microscopic particles which may be colored themselves, as selenium reds (SeO2) used in traffic lights.

Conti… Safety Glass:• This is grouped into two types;1). Laminated glass: It consists of two sheets of thin plate glass of 3mm thickness whit center of non-brittle plastic material. They are washed and an adhesive material is applied to the glass under moderate pressure and temperature.2). Tempered Glass: This is very strong and used in doors and window of vehicles. It possesses high internal stresses. Its manufacturing involves controlled heat annealing whereby the uniform stresses in glass are replaced by controlled, uniform, low-level, stress.

Conti…

Fiber Glass:• A special glass, low in silica, is used for the production of

fibers.• Efforts have been made to produce a fiber for the

reinforcement of concrete that would not be attacked by and weakened by alkali.

• The most successful of these alkali-resistant fibers are made from glass containing 17% ZnO.

• This is very expensive.• This is also difficult to produce.
