玻璃粘度（Glass viscosity）.docVIP

玻璃粘度（Glass viscosity） The glass in the molding process, due to the temperature changes, the temperature gradient inside and outside layer, and because of the shape of the product, thickness, cooling degree by different heat caused by irregular products stress. The thermal stress can reduce the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the products, also affect the uniformity of optical glass, if the stress exceeds the ultimate strength of products, will be broken. So the glass products in the nonuniform thermal stress is a serious defect. Annealing is a heat treatment process, so that the glass in the presence of thermal stress as much as possible to eliminate or reduce the allowable value. In addition to the glass fiber and thin-walled hollow glass products, almost all products need to anneal. In glass thermal stress, according to the characteristics of its existence, divided into temporary and permanent stress stress two. Softening point: In ASTM C-338 (ASTM, American Society for testing and materials English in abbreviation) such that: the length of 235mm and diameter of 0.65mm glass fiber, the upper part of 100mm 5 + temperature to 1 DEG C heating rate in the furnace, when the glass fiber elongation rate reached 1mm/min when the temperature is Littleton (Littleton glass) softening point. According to ASTM C-338 method for the determination of the softening point of glass, has the advantages of fast speed, simple operation, good repeatability of data, data accuracy is within 1 DEG C. Special note: the softening point of the glass is not a temperature, viscosity, softening point of the glass is not actually a viscosity of 107.6 poise (4 x 107 Bo) the temperature; Determination of softening point of the glass, the only method ASTM glass fiber elongation method, because the method testing speed is very fast, a sample the test is generally only 5~10 minutes, an operator can test 50 glass fiber samples in 8 hours of work time, so it is widely used to control parame
