The invention relates to a large-size glass product with a natural ice
crystal imitating effect and an industrial
casting method of the large-size glass product. The product is a lead-free glass
casting with the weight larger than or equal to 100 kg, dendritic
crystal-shaped or
snowflake-shaped devitrified phases which are formed by growing
calcium fluoride as
crystal nucleuses and are distributed randomly are arranged in the product, and the three-dimensional aesthetic effect imitating natural
ice crystals is achieved. The method comprises the following steps: mixing lead-free glass particles with a
calcium fluoride nucleating agent with a specific particle size, and filling a mixture into a special mold with a three-layer
composite structure and a
temperature monitoring function; and executing a four-stage programmed thermal regulation including melting homogenization,
nucleation cooling,
isothermal crystallization and super-slow multi-step annealing, wherein the melting and heat preservation time and the maximum thickness of the product meet the quantitative relation of t = k.H. Through systematic
collaboration of materials, molds and processes, the technical problems that
crystallization in large-size glass is not uniform and
cracking is easily caused by thermal stress are solved, high yield and stable
mass production of products of 500 kg or above are achieved, and the method is suitable for the fields of high-end buildings, art devices and decoration.
