Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing glass fiber nozzles.
- the invention also relates to a glass fiber nozzle and a method for producing glass fibers.
- Glass fiber nozzles for drawing technical glass fibers can be produced by flowing a glass melt through openings in a base plate of a glass tank.
- a glass fiber nozzle can be welded together from a box-shaped structure with a perforated base plate, with tubes or so-called tips with a cylindrical or conical shape being welded into the holes in the base plate.
- Certain tube geometries are advantageous here, but in some cases can only be produced with great effort using conventional methods.
- the glass fiber nozzles are equipped with up to 8,000 tubes (tips). The liquid glass (or the glass melt) runs out through the glass fiber nozzle through these tubes. The cooling of the glass creates solid glass fibers.
- the tubes have a significant influence on the quality of the glass fibers as well as on the service life of the glass fiber nozzle.
- US 2016/0312338 A1 discloses a glass fiber nozzle made of a platinum-rhodium alloy, in which a multiplicity of tips are arranged on one side of a base plate (“bushing”).
- the tips are arranged in a large number of passages through the base plate and extend it.
- the glass melt can flow out through the passages and the tips for the production of glass fibers.
- the tips are either welded on or they are made in one piece with the base plate and together with the base plate.
- the tips should be made of the same material as the base plate.
- a one-piece production of the base plate with the tips and the passages is complex.
- the base plate cannot be rolled in such a production in order to achieve stiffening and an improvement in the durability of the base plate.
- the welded connection represents a weak point in the glass fiber nozzle.
- all tips have to be laboriously welded individually to the base plate.
- unwanted changes to the geometry inside the tips can occur, which affect the properties of the glass fibers.
- the production is very complex. Especially when the tips are to be precisely positioned.
- the inner shape of the tips is usually very limited due to the material used and the desired material properties. In the case of a one-piece production, a thick base plate can be rolled, the tips (pressed bases) can be shaped and the rear side can then be milled off to a desired thickness.
- the disadvantage here is a high use of material and the associated high costs.
- the object of the invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a possibility is to be found of producing and providing a glass fiber nozzle which is as inexpensive as possible and at the same time also allows the implementation of different geometries for the tubes.
- the glass fiber nozzle must be stable in relation to the glass melt but also in relation to the high temperatures during use. It should be possible to cool the tubes in a controlled manner so that the glass fiber nozzle can be used for as long as possible before it has to be completely replaced or at least repaired.
- the glass fiber nozzle should be able to produce new glass fibers suitable for special applications.
- the objects of the invention are achieved by a method for the production of glass fiber nozzles which are provided for the production of glass fibers from a glass melt, the method comprising the steps:
- the tubes are often referred to as tips on fiberglass nozzles.
- the at least one tube can therefore at least be a tip.
- a tube is to be understood as a tube with a general geometry.
- the tubes are in no way restricted to cylindrical or rotationally symmetrical geometries.
- the tube can, for example, also have the shape of a torus (donut shape) with an elliptical cross section.
- the at least one passage in the at least one tube can have a geometry which influences the flow of the glass melt in and through the at least one passage. For example, a rotation of the flowing glass melt can be achieved through the internal shape of the at least one passage.
- the geometry of the tubes and thus the emerging fibers do not have to be constant over the base plate surface.
- the shape of the tubes can vary both in terms of size and in terms of shape and geometry.
- the at least one tube can have a narrowing or widening in the at least one passage.
- the constriction can then act as a nozzle for ejecting the glass melt to position the glass fiber.
- the broadening can influence the flow behavior, in particular the flow velocity of the glass melt.
- the second material is a different material from the first material.
- a powdery second material or a wire-like second material is preferably used in step B), particularly preferably a powdery second material.
- the pulverulent second material can preferably have an average grain size of less than 50 ⁇ m. It can be provided that the powdery second material is sieved to limit the particle size, preferably with a sieve of the fraction 200 ⁇ m or smaller, particularly preferably with a sieve of the fraction 100 gm to 50 gm, very particularly preferably with a sieve of the fraction 50 gm.

- DPH oxide-dispersion-hardened platinum
- PtRh10 oxide-dispersion-hardened platinum-rhodium alloy
- the base plate is not made with a laser melting method, a laser sintering method, a
- Electron beam melting process or an electron beam sintering process is produced.
- the base plate is not produced using a layered 3D printing method.
- the base plate can be made particularly stable with respect to the temperature and the chemical environment.
- step A1) takes place before step A): A1) production of the base plate with a method comprising melt casting and / or rolling, in particular melt casting and subsequent rolling.
- a particularly stable and high-temperature-resistant base plate can be produced, and at the same time the variability of the printing process can be used for the at least one small tube.
- a dispersion-strengthened, in particular oxide-dispersion-hardened, metallic material is used as the first material, wherein the first material delimits all surfaces coming into contact with the molten glass.
- the dispersion-strengthened metallic material used is a dispersion-strengthened noble metal or a dispersion-strengthened noble metal alloy which is dispersion-strengthened with ceramic particles, in particular with ceramic ZrO 2 particles.
- a platinum or oxide-dispersion-hardened platinum-rhodium alloy is used as the first material with ceramic particles, with oxide particles or with ceramic ZrO2 particles.
- a dispersion-strengthened PtRhlO alloy is preferably used.
- the ceramic particles are preferably distributed in the metallic matrix of the first material in order to bring about the solidification of the dispersion.
- an oxide dispersion strengthened alloy is used as the dispersion strengthened metallic first material.
- the base plate consists of the first material.
- the base plate can be manufactured particularly inexpensively.
- the first material and / or the second material is a metal or a metal alloy, preferably platinum or a platinum-based alloy or a platinum-rhodium alloy, particularly preferably a PtRh10 alloy.
- a platinum-based alloy is to be understood as an alloy with platinum as the main component. This is preferably understood to mean an alloy with at least 50 atomic percent platinum.
- step B1) takes place between step A) and step B):
- step B1) Printing a continuous and / or full-surface coating made of the second material on the side of the base plate, the at least one tube being printed on the continuous and / or full-surface coating of the base plate in step B).
- Coating can be done using either powder or wire.
- the base plate can be roughened by the coating, the base plate being roughened at least at the points where the powder for the at least one small tube is intended to adhere.
- the coating can have a positive effect on the warpage of the base plate when the at least one tube is printed on.
- a step D) takes place after step B) and after step C): D) Coating the outside of the at least one tube and the side of the base plate on which the at least one tube is printed with a protective layer, in particular with a ceramic protective layer.
- step B1) takes place before step D), namely printing a continuous or full-surface coating of the second material onto one side of the base plate, with the at least one tube in step B) the continuous or full-surface coating of the base plate is printed on.
- step B) a tube made of the second material is printed onto one side of the base plate, the tube having at least one passage, and in step C) before step B) or after step B. ) a passage is created in the base plate, the passage through the base plate being connected to at least one of the at least one passage of the tube in such a way that the passage through the base plate with at least one of the at least one passage of the tube has a common and for the glass melt forms a continuous line that leads through the base plate and through the tube.
- step B) a plurality of tubes made of the second material are printed on one side of the base plate, the tubes each having at least one passage, and in step C) before step B) or after step B) generation several passages takes place in the base plate, the passages through the base plate each being connected to at least one of the at least one passage of one of the tubes in such a way that the passages through the base plate with at least one of the at least one passage of a respective one tube are common and for the Molten glass form continuous lines that lead through the base plate and through the tubes.
- each of the tubes can be used individually to give off heat, so that the individual tubes heat up less or quickly. This can improve the durability of the fiberglass nozzle.
- the first material has a higher heat resistance and / or a higher creep resistance than the second material. This ensures that the base plate, which is exposed to the molten glass to a greater extent than the at least one tube, is more chemically stable than the molten glass but is also more stable against the evaporation of constituents from the first material. This will ensure greater durability of the Glass fiber nozzle achieved than if the base plate would also have a lower heat resistance, at the same time the at least one tube can be printed on the base plate in a very variable form with a printing process, even if it has a lower heat resistance as a result.
- the tubes can have a higher, equal or lower rhodium content than the base plate, so that an optimum can always be found depending on the rhodium price, evaporation rate and stability.
- Creep also retardation
- a key figure for creep is the creep rate or Norton exponent (English creep rate and Norton coefficient). At almost constant temperature, the creep rate follows Norton 's creep law.
- the creep strength describes the maximum stress in order not to exceed a specified creep strain (within a defined time interval). Similarly, the creep rupture strength can be defined as the maximum stress to achieve a specified service life (before breakage occurs).
- the heat resistance is the strength of a material at elevated temperatures. This means that the strength of the first material at the temperature of the glass melt, in particular at 1400 ° C., is higher than that of the second material.
- the strength of a material describes the ability to withstand mechanical loads before failure occurs and is specified as mechanical stress (force per cross-sectional area).
- the failure can be an impermissible deformation, in particular a plastic (permanent) deformation or a break.
- the strength describes the limit value from which a non-elastic, i.e. irreversible deformation of the material occurs with a defined geometry and load.
- the mechanical properties can be determined, for example, with a universal testing machine of the Zwick Roell Z100 type from Zwick GmbH & Co. KG.
- the change in length of the samples of the materials can be recorded using a macro-fine extensometer and the load using a 100 kN load cell. For example, the yield strength
- Yield strength R P o.2, the tensile strength R m and the elongation at break SB at a
- Test speed of 3 mm / min at room temperature and / or 1400 ° C can be determined.
- the evaluation can be carried out, for example, with the testXpert® software from Zwick GmbH & Co. KG.

- the printed second material does not have to be inserted or imprinted into holes in the base plate. This keeps the amount of the printed second material low, thereby improving the durability of the glass fiber nozzle and at the same time keeping the costs for its production low.
- the glass fiber nozzle is produced using a method according to the invention.
- the glass fiber nozzle has the advantages mentioned for the method for its production.
- the objects on which the present invention is based are also achieved by a method for producing glass fibers from a glass melt with a glass fiber nozzle according to the invention, in which the glass melt passes through the at least one passage in a base plate and through the at least one passage in the at least one onto the base plate printed tube flows and solidifies after flowing out of the at least one tube to at least one glass fiber. Provision can be made for the method to produce a homogenization of the glass melt in the at least one passage, the internal shape of the at least one passage preferably causing the glass melt to be thoroughly mixed.
- the invention is based on the surprising finding that by printing the at least one tube onto the base plate, it is possible to enable a high degree of variability in the tube geometry, while at the same time using a base plate produced using a different method there is the possibility of placing the base plate on others to optimize physical parameters, for example with regard to the chemical durability of the base plate in relation to the glass melt or with regard to the high temperature resistance of the base plate.
- only a small amount of the printing medium needs to be consumed compared to if the entire continuous line (s) or even the entire base plate were printed together with the at least one tube would be printed.
- welding of the at least one tube to the base plate can be avoided and weak points of the glass fiber nozzle at the weld seams can be avoided. Due to the greater roughness of the inner surfaces of the at least one passage of the at least one tube, better mixing of the glass melt when flowing through can be achieved than if the at least one passage had smooth walls.
- the strength of the floor slab can be maintained by means of a larger load-bearing cross-section by printing directly onto a stable, conventionally manufactured floor slab, with only a minimal welding zone, which has a reduced strength, and with a smaller pre-drilling diameter required in the floor slab.
- the method according to the invention and the glass fiber nozzle according to the invention also result in advantages compared to completely 3D-printed bushing bases including small tubes (tips).
- a different method for producing the base plate can be used than 3D printing for the tubes and thus a more stable result can be achieved and / or a more cost-effective production method can be used will.
- a high-strength, oxide-dispersion-strengthened platinum or a high-strength, oxide-dispersion-strengthened platinum-rhodium alloy can be used for the base plate, which means that the long-term stability of such a bushing is significantly higher than that of fully printed bushing bases. This is because these cannot be printed as oxide dispersion-strengthened platinum variants or platinum-rhodium variants. Shrinkage of the base plate can also be avoided if it is cast and / or rolled, for example.
- New tube geometries that cannot be produced using conventional methods can be realized. Because the at least one tube is 3D-printed and not produced by machine subtractively (turned, milled), more complex geometries are possible, which have a positive effect on the glass fiber quality and output and which would not be possible with subtractive processes.
- the present invention therefore proposes a direct 3D printing of the glass fiber tips (the at least one small tube) on a base plate made of a noble metal alloy or of another suitable combination of materials.
- the base plate can already be perforated, or the holes (of the at least one passage) can be produced after the tips (of the at least one tube) have been printed on.
- the shape of the tips can be implemented in a geometry desired by the user. Here are different cross-sections, wall thickness profiles, flow-influencing geometries and
- the tips or tubes can be built onto the base plate (for example a sheet of metal) using any 3D printing process. A measurement may be necessary to enable rework.
- the base plate can be cleaned, leveled, polished and / or coated, for example.
- a structured 3D-printed surface inside or outside the at least one tube can be advantageous in order to optimize the component properties in terms of flow mechanics (inside) or to provide the component with an adhesive coating that reduces or completely reduces the evaporation of platinum and / or rhodium prevented.
- the glass fibers produced with a method according to the invention are technical glass fibers which are suitable for applications such as, for example, glass fiber reinforced plastics, the electronics industry (glass fiber reinforced circuit boards) and the textile industry (refractory fabrics).

- the passages 84, 94 can be shaped rotationally symmetrically and shaped cylindrically in the area of the widened areas 85, 95 and the conical tips 86, 96. Circumferential bead-like thickenings 87, 97 of the walls of the passages 84, 94 can be arranged in the passages 84, 94.
- the thickenings 87, 97 of the wall lead to the formation of constrictions 88, 98 in the passages 84, 94 in the area of the thickenings 87, 97.
- the constrictions 88, 98 cause a change in the flow of a glass melt flowing through the passages 84, 94 .
- the constrictions 88, 98 can, for example, change the flow velocity as a function of the radius perpendicular to the flow in the glass melt.
- the glass melt can be mixed directly before it flows out of the conical tips 86, 96 of the tube 82, 92.
- the middle tube 92 has a narrower constriction 98 of the feedthrough 94 than the constrictions 88 of the feedthroughs 84 of the two outer tubes 82.
- the tubes 82, 92 can be printed in layers on the base plate 81 from a metal powder, in particular from a platinum powder or a platinum-rhodium powder, particularly preferably from a powder made of PtRh10 DPH.
- a metal wire can also be used together with a laser material deposition process (LMD process).
- LMD process laser material deposition process
- the layers for building up these tubes 82, 92 are preferably printed on the base plate 81 in such a way that two tubes 82, 92 that are spatially adjacent to one another are not printed directly one after the other on the base plate 81. As a result, the heat generated during the printing process can flow away better and local overheating of the base plate 81 is less likely.
- a passage 80 can be provided in the base plate 81 for each tube 82, 92.
- the tubes 82, 92 can be positioned or printed on the base plate 81 in such a way that each of the passages 80 is aligned with exactly one of the passages 84, 94 and thus both form a common line for the glass melt.
- the sequence of a method according to the invention is described below with reference to FIGS. 10 and 9.
- the base plate 81 can be produced from the melt by casting. In the process, oxidic particles can be distributed or generated in the melt. After the melt has solidified, in a second work step 101 the base plate 81 can be shaped and further hardened by rolling and / or by a further temperature treatment. The step 83 can also be introduced into the base plate 81.
- the underside of the base plate 81 can be leveled and / or pretreated and cleaned so that it can then be printed on.
- the base plate 81 can be made available for printing.
- the base plate 81 can be fastened in a 3D printer.
- a base plate 81 produced using a method other than the method specified in the following fifth work step 104 can also be provided. The method according to the invention can therefore begin with the fourth work step 103.
- the tubes 82, 92 can be printed in layers on the base plate 81.
- a powder (not shown) can be melted, sintered or welded in layers with a laser onto the base plate 81 or onto previous layers.
- the surface of the base plate 81 with the tubes 82, 92 can be cleaned, recompacted, polished or coated.
- a ceramic coating can be applied to the surface of the underside of the base plate (if printed), which is rough due to the 3D printing, and to the outside of the tubes 82, 92.
- the base plate 81 can be welded to circumferential side walls 89 or connected in some other way will. The side walls 89 can be produced beforehand using the same method as the base plate 81.
- a glass fiber nozzle according to the invention is obtained.
- the side walls 89 and the base plate 81 can form a container for a glass melt.
- the glass melt can flow out of this container through the passages 80 and the passages 84, 94 and the glass fibers are thus formed.
- the same process can also be used to produce glass fiber nozzles with tubes with other geometries, such as the geometries shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, for example.
- the geometries can easily be mixed as desired.
- FIG. 11 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a freeing position of a glass fiber nozzle according to the invention.
- Several tubes 112 can be built up on two base plates 111 using a laser process.
- the base plates 111 can be sheets made of dispersion-hardened platinum or dispersion-hardened PtRh10 alloy.
- Semi-finished tubes 113 under construction on the base plates 111 are also shown in FIG.
- the base plates 111 can be fastened on both sides on a carrier 114 and two lasers 116 can be used for the bilateral and parallel construction.
- the laser beams 118 can hit the semi-finished tubes 113 for additive manufacturing, as is shown in FIG. 11.
- the carrier 114 may be mounted on a stand 120.
- LMD Laser metal deposition
- DED 3D laser plating
- tubes 112 can be built up in parallel on two oppositely attached base plates 111 in order to reduce warpage.
