Abstract:
A transparent class ceramic composition includes an oxide component, a rare earth component, a halide component, and a substantially pure rare earth-halide (e.g., REF.sub.3) crystal component. A method for making a transparent oxyfluoride glass includes preparing an oxyfluoride glass containing rare earth ions by a conventional melting method and subjecting the glass to a heat treatment thereby precipitating fluoride fine crystals containing a large amount of rare earth ions.
Abstract:
An improved fiber reinforced glass composite includes a boron-containing refractory fiber having its surface enriched with boron nitride in a matrix of a black glass ceramic having the empirical formula SiCxOy where x ranges from about 0.5 to about 2.0, preferably 0.9 to 1.6 and y ranges from about 0.5 to 3.0, preferably 0.7 to 1.8. Preferably the black glass ceramic is derived from cyclosiloxane or non-cyclic siloxane monomers containing a vinyl group attached to silicon and/or a hydride-silicon group. The boron nitride-containing fiber is the product of treating the boron-containing fiber with ammonia at a temperature between about 1100.degree. C. and 1250.degree. C. Fibrous failure rather than brittle failure under stress can be obtained.

Abstract:
A method of strengthening a glass article by developing compressive stress in a surface layer on the article through an exchange of alkali metal ions in the surface layer at an elevated temperature below the glass strain point, the step of minimizing stress relaxation by carrying out the ion exchange in a glass essentially free from non-bridging oxygen atoms. Glasses having particular utility contain alumina in their compositions in such amount that the number of aluminum atoms in a glass are at least equal to the number of alkali metal ions, or contain both alumina and boric oxide in such amounts that the formula ##EQU1## is satisfied.
Abstract:
A fiber reinforced glass composite capable of absorbing or transmitting microwave radiation includes refractory fiber in a matrix of a black glass ceramic having the empirical formula SiCxOy where x is greater than zero and up to about 2.0, and y is greater than zero and up to about 2.2. Preferably, the black glass ceramic is made by pyrolyzing precursor polymers derived from cyclosiloxane monomers containing a vinyl group attached to silicon and/or a hydride-silicon group in a controlled atmosphere, thereby adjusting the dielectric properties.

Abstract:
Methyl silicone resins are pyrolized in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to form a translucent glass comprised of silicon, oxygen and carbon where silicon atoms are chemically bonded to carbon and oxygen atoms, but there are essentially no chemical bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms. The translucent silicon-oxy-carbide glasses of this invention resist devitrification and decomposition in oxidizing or reducing atmospheres at temperatures of about 1250.degree. C. or greater. Methods for forming silicon-oxy-carbide glass articles are disclosed, along with specific methods for forming silicon-oxy-carbide glass fibres, composites, and cellular structures.
Abstract:
Wate asbestos is converted into a glass by maintaining within an electrical glass melting furnace a body of molten glass at a temperature above the decomposition temperature of asbestos; supplying asbestos to the furnace by a conveyor discharging above the body of molten glass so that the asbestos falls onto the molten glass and becomes decomposed and melted into glass; and withdrawing molten glass from the furnace at a temperature of at least 1000.degree. C. The asbestos is advantageously mixed with cullet and a melt accelerator and fed into the furnace by means of a screw mixer/conveyor. The furnace is advantageously operated at a pressure less than atmospheric pressure.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus are provided for refining glassy material or the like by vacuum. The material is first melted and then introduced into a vacuum chamber, preferably into space above liquid held in the chamber. Other aspects involve a two-step melting process preparatory to the vacuum refining, in which the material is initially liquefied in one stage and dissolution of particles is substantially completed in a second stage. The molten material is preferably foamed immediately upon entry into the vacuum chamber.
