Tin dioxide fining agent removes gas inclusions from zinc-modified lithium aluminosilicate melts without toxic arsenic or antimony oxides.
A silica-alumina-sodium oxide glass composition enables ion exchange tempering at 380°C to 500°C.
Replacing toxic fining agents with tin oxide and adjusting composition lowers lithium usage while preserving transparency.
Initial cooling air blasts target glass sheet edges before main quenching to counteract thermal creep and straighten the material.
Continuous flexible air grid eliminates stress patterns on curved glass by replacing discrete air boxes with a unified fluid smoothing structure.
Metal setter plates with high thermal conductivity reduce warping and enhance optical quality in glass ceramic articles.
Jetted cooling medium creates stress marks spaced at 20 mm or less on a thin tempered glass plate, preventing elongated fragments during fracturing.
Continuous tapered flow channels generate laminar cooling air streams that eliminate turbulent irregularities and reduce optical anisotropies in annealed glass.
A thin glass roll uses ion exchange to strengthen the surface against breakage during compact storage.
Optimized oxide ratios and ion exchange form a compressive stress layer that suppresses crack growth in harsh environments.
Chemically toughened glass uses a two-stage ion exchange process to establish compressive stress zones in the surface layer.
Integrated nozzle channels create connected wind bands to eliminate stress marks from uneven air pressure distribution.
