    摘要: A number of unique processes are disclosed for manufacture of sintered high-purity quartz glass products in which a shaped silica body or preform is made from an aqueous slurry of micronized silica particles by gel casting, slip casting or electrophoretic deposition. The silica particles may comprise a major portion by weight of crystalline silica. In one embodiment of the invention the sintered quartz glass is transparent, substantially bubble-free and suitable for scientific or optical uses. In another embodiment the porous silica preform is fired in steam to increase the hydroxyl content and then nitrided in a nitrogen-hydrogen reducing atmosphere. A minute amount of chemically-combined nitrogen in the high-purity quartz glass is sufficient to provide a tremendous improvement in physical properties and an incredible increase in the resistance to devitrification.

    摘要: A process for manufacturing synthetic quartz glass involves feeding a quartz glass-forming raw material to a high-temperature gas zone within a chamber, converting the quartz glass-forming raw material into quartz soot, and forming synthetic quartz glass from the soot. A suspended soot-discharging gas which has been flow-straightened in a suspended soot discharging direction flows through the chamber in the vicinity of the high-temperature gas zone. This process keeps free suspended soot from settling onto the surface of the quartz ingot where fusion and growth take place, thereby preventing the formation of bubbles within the quartz glass under growth.

    摘要: The invention concerns a quartz glass body for an optical component for the transmission of UV radiation with a wavelength of 250 nm and less, especially for a wavelength of 157 nm, as well as a process for the manufacture of the quartz glass body where fine quartz glass particles are formed by flame hydrolysis of a silicon compound, deposited and vitrified. Suitability of a quartz glass as represented by high base transmission and radiation resistance depends on structural properties caused by local stoichiometric deviations, and on the chemical composition. The quartz glass body according to the inventions is distinguished by a uniform base transmission (relative change of base transmission ≦1%) in the wavelength range from 155 nm to 250 nm (radiation penetration depth of 10 mm) of at least 80%, a low OH content (less than 10 ppm by weight) and a glass structure substantially free from oxygen defect centers. A quartz glass body of this kind is manufactured by a process which allows bulk embedding of hydrogen or oxygen into the glass network in that at least a two stage heat treatment takes place at temperatures ranging from 850° C. to 1600° C. before the vitrification, the last stage comprising sintering at a temperature between 1300° C. and 1600° C. in an atmosphere containing hydrogen or oxygen, or a nonflammable mixture of these substances.

    摘要: A raw material mixture, which has a glass composition containing a salt or an oxide of a flame reaction metal, is heated, and an intermediate base material, in which the salt of the flame reaction metal, or the like, has been thermally decomposed and which is in a temporary sintered state or a fused glass state, is thereby formed. The intermediate base material is ground, and a ground material is thereby obtained. The ground material is mixed together with a liquid and, optionally, a binder, and a viscous flame reaction material is thereby formed. The viscous flame reaction material is supported on a substrate and heated to a temperature, which is not lower than a vitrification melting temperature of the viscous flame reaction material. In this manner, the flame reaction material is fusion bonded to the substrate. Generation of a thermal decomposition gas in the baking step is thus restricted, and the carrying of the flame reaction material on the substrate is carried out appropriately.

    摘要: Methods for producing high purity fused silica (HPFS) glass having desired levels of dissolved hydrogen are provided. The methods involve measuring the level of hydrogen in the cavity of the furnace used to produce the glass and controlling the pressure within the furnace and/or gas flows to the furnace's burners so that the measured concentration has a desired value. In this way, the level of dissolved hydrogen in the glass can be controlled since, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a direct correlation between the hydrogen concentration in the cavity atmosphere and level of dissolved hydrogen in the glass.
