The effect of equilibrium of heterovalent forms of iron on melting temperature and glass homogeneity in industrial production

Stabilizing the spectral properties and technologies of glass

“…The homogeneity of the molten glass temporarily worsens, which affects the product quality and the distribution of the molten glass in the blank workpiece during the formation of articles. The brittleness increases, the mechanical strength decreases, and the number of rejected articles increases [5,9]. In addition, when the bottom layers of a glassmaking furnace, as a rule, more reducing, mix with the general volume of the molten glass bubbles can appear as a result of the disruption of the equilibrium of the gas phase in the different layers.…”
