Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung tyndalleffektfreien optischen Glases Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung tyndalleffektfreien optischen Glases mittels Joulescher Wärme.Process for producing tyndall-effect-free optical glass Die The invention relates to a method for producing optical tyndall effect-free Glass by means of Joule heat.

Beim elektrischen Schmelzen von Glas durch Joulesche Wärme wird der Heizstrom dem Schmelzgut in der Regel mit Hilfe von Elektroden zugeführt, die in das Schmelzgut eintauchen. oder auf sonstige Weise einen guten Stromübergang sichern. Infolge der hierbei normalerweise auftretenden elektrolytischen Zersetzung der Schmelze, die meist ein Verfärben des Glases verursacht, ist es im allgemeinen nicht möglich, ein reines und ungefärbtes Glas zu erschmelzen, wenn man einen Heizstrom mit der üblichen Netzfrequenz von 50 Hz verwendet.When glass is electrically melted by Joule heat, the Heating current is usually supplied to the molten material with the help of electrodes that are in immerse the melted material. or secure a good current transfer in some other way. As a result of the electrolytic decomposition of the melt that normally occurs here, which usually causes discoloration of the glass, it is generally not possible to melt a pure and uncoloured glass, if you have a heating current with the usual mains frequency of 50 Hz.

Man hat deshalb schon vorgeschlagen, die Frequenz des Heizstromes auf 500 bis 1000 Hz, gegebenenfalls noch höher, zu steigern, und hierbei ein ungefärbtes Glas erzielt, d. h., die elektrolytische Zersetzung der Schmelze hat sich also bei diesen Frequenzen vermeiden lassen.It has therefore already been proposed to increase the frequency of the heating current to 500 to 1000 Hz, possibly even higher, and this is an uncolored one Glass achieved, d. That is, the electrolytic decomposition of the melt has increased avoid these frequencies.

Dagegen tritt ein anderer Effekt auf, der bisher durch die Verfärbung der Schmelze infolge elektrolytischer Zersetzung überdeckt war, nämlich die Zerstäubung der Elektroden. Diese Zerstäubung ist bei 1000 Hz so fein, daß siie sich der Wahrnehmung mit dem unbewaffneten Auge entzieht, sich jedoch bei scharfer seitlicher Dunkelfeldbeleuchtung als starke Streuung (Tyndalleffekt) bemerkbar macht, so daß das betreffende- Glas für optische Zwecke unbrauchbar wird. Diese Erscheinung tritt besonders deutlich gerade dann auf, wenn chemisch unangreifbare Elektroden, wie aus Platinmetallen, verwendet werden, da das zerstäubte Metall hier nicht von der Schmelze im Laufe der Zeit gelöst werden kann, wie bei Elektroden aus unedlen Metallen.On the other hand, there is another effect, which was previously caused by the discoloration the melt was covered as a result of electrolytic decomposition, namely the atomization of the electrodes. At 1000 Hz, this atomization is so fine that it can be perceived evades with the naked eye, but with sharp dark field illumination from the side as a strong scattering (Tyndall effect) makes noticeable, so that the glass in question becomes unusable for optical purposes. This phenomenon is particularly evident especially when chemically unassailable electrodes, such as those made of platinum metals, be used because the atomized metal is not here from the melt in the course can be resolved over time, as in the case of electrodes made of base metal.

Andererseits hat sich aber in der letzten Zeit erwiesen, daß es beim Erschmelzen zahlreicher Glassorten äußerst wichtig ist, daß die Schmelze mit keinen anderen Materialien als mit Platin oder Legierungen mit hohem Plantingehalt in Berührung kommt.On the other hand, it has recently been shown that the Melting numerous types of glass is extremely important that the melt with none in contact with materials other than platinum or alloys with a high plantin content comes.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß man auch unter dieser Bedingung optisch einwandfreies, tyndalleffektfreies optisches Glas erschmelzen kann, wenn nach der Erfindung unter Anwendung von Elektroden aus Platin-oder hochplatinhaltigen Legierungen ein Strom mit einer Frequenz von wenigstens 4000 Hz durch die Schmelze geleitet wird.It has now been found that even under this condition one can optically flawless, tyndall effect-free optical glass can melt if after the Invention using electrodes made of platinum or high-platinum alloys a current with a frequency of at least 4000 Hz is passed through the melt will.

Mit Rücksicht auf die hohen Kosten der genannten Metalle ist es zweckmäßig, die Oberfläche der Elektroden klein zu halten, d. h. die übergangsstromdichte zwischen den Elektroden und dem Schmelzgut zu erhöhen.In view of the high costs of the metals mentioned, it is advisable to to keep the surface of the electrodes small, d. H. the transition current density between to increase the electrodes and the melting material.

Hierdurch nimmt die übergangsstromdichte zwischen den Elektroden und dem Schmelzgut beträchtliche Werte an. Falls diese auf 10 A/qcm oder mehr gesteigert wird, erhöht man zweckmäßig die Frequenz des Heizstromes auf mindestens 7000 Hz. Auf diese Weise erhält man trotz der hohen Stromdichte noch einwandfreies optisches Glas.This increases the transition current density between the electrodes and the melt material has considerable values. If this is increased to 10 A / qcm or more it is advisable to increase the frequency of the heating current to at least 7000 Hz. In this way, despite the high current density, the optical quality is still perfect Glass.

Um die Kosten der Platinelektroden klein zu halten, empfiehlt es sich, sie aus dünnen Metallblechen herzustellen.In order to keep the costs of the platinum electrodes low, it is advisable to make them from thin metal sheets.

Beim Schmelzen von Gläsern in einem Platintiegel kann man mit einer einzigen, vorzugsweise rohrförmigen Elektrode auskommen und dabei den Tiegel als Gegenelektrode verwenden.When melting glasses in a platinum crucible, you can use a get along single, preferably tubular electrode and thereby use the crucible as Use counter electrode.
