Definitions
- Sheet-shaped glass article, door for a microwave oven comprising such a glass article and microwave oven
- the present invention relates generally to sheet-like glass articles for use as a viewing panel in an oven door, particularly a microwave oven door. Other aspects relate to a door for a microwave oven and a microwave oven itself.
- microwave ovens there is a fundamental risk that microwave radiation will escape when the microwave oven (often also referred to as “microwave” for short) is in operation, particularly if the oven door of such a device is designed in such a way that it includes a viewing window through which the user of the device can, for example, check the cooking status of the food.
- microwave doors To protect against the escape of microwaves, today's microwave doors are designed with viewing panes in such a way that they always also include a metallic perforated grid.
- a protective screen made of glass or plastic is also arranged towards the user, so that contact with microwave radiation during operation of the device is not possible.
- a protective pane is often also arranged on the cooking chamber side in order to protect the grille from contamination by food. This configuration severely limits the view into a microwave oven (or microwave oven or "microwave").
- German patent application DE 103 07 217 A1 provides a door which has two panes of glass which are held at a distance from one another.
- the inner glass pane facing the cooking chamber is designed there in such a way that it has at least one optically transparent first layer that absorbs microwave radiation. With regard to the absorption capacity, this is designed in such a way that it heats up to prevent the formation of condensate.
- the outer glass pane further comprises at least one optically transparent layer which reflects microwave radiation passing through the first layer.
- Both layers comprise known transparent conductive oxides (TCO), such as indium tin oxide ITO, fluorine-doped tin oxide (FZO) or aluminum-doped tin oxide (AZO ). Furthermore, for improvement, a coating of SiO? be raised.
- TCO transparent conductive oxides
- ITO indium tin oxide
- FZO fluorine-doped tin oxide
- AZO aluminum-doped tin oxide
- the materials used in DE 103 07 217 A1 are classic TCO materials, microwave radiation is not only reflected, but also absorbed, so that the power of the microwave magnetron that is fed into the oven is no longer used available for heating the food.
- the TCO layers must be sufficiently thick, that is to say significantly greater than 100 nm, since the specific resistance of these materials is in the range from 10' 3 ohm*cm to 10' 4 ohm*cm.
- adequate protection against the escape of microwaves is only possible if there are very high reflections, ie very low surface resistances.
- the international patent application WO 2021/152083 describes a metallic coating comprising nickel and chromium which is applied to a pane together with a transparent conductive oxide. In this way, the function of the perforated grid can be replaced and a good view into the cooking chamber is possible in this way.
- the disadvantage is that such coatings do not have sufficient long-term stability, especially at high temperatures between, for example, 250° C. to 300° C., as occur in so-called combi ovens or combi devices in which the food to be cooked is heated in a manner other than by microwave radiation.
- combi ovens or combi devices in which the food to be cooked is heated in a manner other than by microwave radiation.
- the optical properties, but also the microwave reflection can change with the risk that the microwave emission from the microwave oven will increase.
- the object of the invention is to provide sheet-shaped glass articles which at least partially alleviate the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. Further aspects relate to a door for a microwave oven and a microwave oven comprising such a door.
- the present specification thus relates to a disc-shaped glass article comprising a disc-shaped glass substrate and a coating system which is arranged on at least one side of the glass substrate and comprises at least two layers, the disc-shaped glass article having a mean spectral reflectance in the wavelength range from 1.5 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m of at least 10 % and an average spectral transmittance, based on the light type C, of at least 5% in the wavelength range from 380 nm to 780 nm, and preferably at most 70%, particularly preferably between 20% and 50%, very particularly preferably between 25% and 40 %, in particular based on a thickness of the disc-shaped glass article between 3 mm and 4 mm, one layer being metallic and being arranged between the at least one side of the glass substrate and a further layer, wherein the further layer comprises an oxide and/or nitride and/or oxintride of a metal and/or semimetal, and wherein the further layer preferably directly adjoins the one metallic layer, and wherein the further layer
- the mean spectral transmittance is determined in accordance with the ISO 13468 and ISO 14782 standards, preferably using the Hazeguard Plus measuring device from Byk Gardner.
- the average spectral reflectance is determined as follows:
- the measurement is preferably carried out using the Lambda 950 measuring device from Perkin Elmer with a measuring angle of 6°, without a sphere.
- an FT-IR spectrometer from Thermofishes Scientific is used, designation Nicolet Nexus. Measurements are taken at a measuring angle of 10° without a sphere. Such a configuration has a number of advantages.
- the further layer which comprises an oxide and/or nitride and/or oxintride of a metal and/or semimetal, protects the metallic layer of the coating system arranged between the further layer and the glass substrate from corrosion.
- This corrosion - usually an oxidation - can take place in particular at elevated temperatures, especially in the case of continuous loads.
- the glass article is designed in this way - namely due to its reflection properties in the wavelength range between 1.5 pm to 10 pm of at least 10% and due to the high transmission in the range of the so-called "visible light” between 380 nm and 780 nm wavelength - so that a good view through the glass article is possible, but at the same time a high reflection of microwave radiation is achieved.
- the additional layer ensures that these properties of the disc-shaped glass article also remain stable under conditions of use, especially in so-called “combination devices" in which the food to be cooked is heated not only by means of microwave radiation, but also by other mechanisms, for example by circulating air.
- An oxide and/or nitride and/or oxynitride of a metal and/or semimetal is suitable as a component of such a further layer, which develops appropriate barrier properties against degradation—mostly oxidation—of the metallic layer. Mixtures of one or more oxides with one or more nitrides and/or oxynitrides of a metal and/or semimetal are also conceivable.
- Such a configuration is also advantageous for improved cleanability of the pane-shaped glass article. Because cleaning agents or food residues are visible after a certain, possibly short, exposure time without the presence of another layer with a barrier effect on the metallic layer and lead to irreversible discoloration because residues or residues can no longer be adequately removed or conversion reactions are already taking place may have taken place.
- the metallic layer can advantageously be designed in such a way that it has a thickness of between at least 5 nm and at most 50 nm.
- a preferred upper limit for the layer thickness of the metallic layer can generally be 30 nm, for example.
- the layer should preferably have the smallest possible thickness, because it has been shown that even thin layers can be sufficient to bring about a corresponding microwave reflection.
- the smaller the layer thickness of the metallic layer the greater the transmission in the wavelength range between 380 nm and 780 nm, which means good transparency enables a disk-shaped glass article configured in this way.
- certain minimum thicknesses are advantageous in order to enable the side of the glass article to be coated evenly. Therefore, advantageously, a minimum thickness of 5 nm should not be fallen below for the metallic layer.
- a preferred upper limit for the metallic layer is 50 nm. In this way, sufficient transparency through the glass article in the form of a pane is still ensured, even in cases in which the coating system is arranged on both sides of the glass article in the form of a pane.
- the metallic layer may generally include the following components, in weight percent:
- Carbon is typically an unavoidable contaminant, not an intentionally added component.
- the layer and/or the target material which is used, for example, for a coating process (such as sputtering), also includes oxygen, for example in the range of up to 1% by weight.
- oxygen for example in the range of up to 1% by weight.
- the coating composition for the sake of simplicity, only the ratio of the proportion by weight of the main components can be specified to designate the layer composition, ie here by way of example nickel to chromium.
- the metallic layer can therefore also be in the form of a layer comprising an alloy.
- a metallic layer is understood in particular to mean that there is a metallic bond in the layer.
- the metallic layer preferably comprises at least 1% by weight of chromium, in particular in the form of metallic chromium (oxidation state 0).
- the metallic layer can particularly preferably be formed in such a way that it comprises nickel and chromium. In this case, one can simply speak of a NiCr layer (or CrNi layer).
- Metallic layers comprising more than one metal and thus comprising a
- Alloy are formed can be preferred because a better plasmon effect can be present here, which leads to microwave radiation can be reflected particularly efficiently. Alloys can be superior to pure metals in this respect.
- Metallic layers which contain at least 1% by weight of chromium can be advantageous.
- Chromium is a component used specifically to increase adhesion to a substrate material.
- disc-shaped glass articles can also be obtained, which can also be obtained in a door of a microwave device for a very low microwave leakage of less than preferably 5 mW/cm 2 .
- too high a chromium content can also be disadvantageous, because depending on the exact composition, the transmission in the visible can be severely restricted.
- the metallic layer comprises at most 98% by weight of chromium, preferably at most 92% by weight of chromium.
- nickel can be used in an alloy with chromium. Alloys of this type have a low level of brittleness, so that coating systems which include such a layer material have very little tendency to form cracks. This is advantageous because it has an advantageous effect on the stability of the coating system, particularly over the life of a coated product.
- the metallic layer can be deposited in particular by means of a conventional gas phase coating process, that is to say in a CVD or PVD process.
- Deposition by means of sputtering or vapor deposition is particularly advantageous.
- Such processes are particularly advantageous because the further layer, ie the barrier coating, can also be deposited in such a process.
- both the metallic layer and the further layer can advantageously be produced without the vacuum breaking between the coating steps. This has the advantage that the surface of the metallic layer cannot be enriched with materials from the environment before it is coated with the material of the further layer.
- vacuum processes can also be avoided in general, without being restricted to a specific embodiment of the metallic layer and/or the further layer, in particular that additional oxygen, nitrogen, water, or contaminants including, for example, calcium, potassium, sodium, or other materials settle out. All of these materials mentioned have a corrosive effect, in particular when the disk-shaped glass article is later used.
- the additional layer has a thickness of between 5 nm and 1000 nm. Even with very small layer thicknesses of a few nanometers, there is already a satisfactory barrier effect in terms of protecting the underlying metallic layer, which is covered by the further layer, from corrosion. Thicknesses of up to 1000 nm are possible in principle, but small thicknesses are preferred because they can be deposited more quickly and also already have an adequate barrier effect. Preference is therefore given to thicknesses between at least 10 nm and 100 nm, particularly preferably between at least 10 nm and at most 40 nm.
- the microwave reflection is preferably between 20% and 95%, preferably between 50% and 80%, particularly preferably between 60% and 75%, particularly preferably determined for a frequency between 2.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz. This is very advantageous because it ensures that the user is shielded from microwave radiation.
- the metallic layer has a surface resistance between 20 ohms/D and 1000 ohms/D, preferably between 50 ohms/D and 500 ohms/D, particularly preferably between 100 ohms/D and 250 ohms/D. In this way, efficient microwave reflection is possible even with small layer thicknesses of the metallic layer.
- the sheet-like glass article and/or the coating system and/or at least one of the layers has a dielectric constant ⁇ r of more than 15 and preferably less than 910, particularly preferably less than 150, at a frequency of 1 GHz.
- the sheet-like glass article and/or the coating system and/or at least one of the layers has a dielectric loss, tan 5, of less than 0.0075 at a frequency of 1 GHz and preferably between at least 0.0024 and at most 0.0075.
- a dielectric loss, tan 5 of less than 0.0075 at a frequency of 1 GHz and preferably between at least 0.0024 and at most 0.0075.
- the metallic layer comprises nickel and/or chromium.
- Advantageous composition ranges have already been listed in the tables above.
- the further layer comprises an oxide and/or nitride and/or oxynitride of aluminum, silicon, titanium, chromium, hafnium or mixtures thereof. These materials have proven to be particularly efficient with regard to the barrier effect.
- a configuration can be particularly advantageous in which the further layer comprises silicon and aluminum and in which, based on the weight, the layer comprises more silicon to aluminum, the weight ratio of silicon to aluminum preferably being greater than 4.
- an oxide and/or nitride and/or oxynitride of silicon and aluminum, in particular a silicon aluminum oxide has proven to be a particularly good material for a barrier layer, and therefore for the further layer.
- the coating system comprises yet another layer, wherein the yet further layer comprises a transparent conductive oxide (TCO).
- TCO transparent conductive oxide
- the yet further layer can comprise known, classic TCO materials, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or aluminum-doped tin oxide (AZO) or fluorine-doped tin oxide (FZO).
- the TCO material of the still further layer is preferably a doped tin oxide.
- the main components in the case of SnO? i.e. oxygen and tin, are not always present in accordance with the nominal oxidation state resulting from the molecular formula. Instead of the actual index 2 for oxygen in SnO? also written "x" to account for this fact.
- Suitable dopants include, but are not limited to, halogens, semimetals (metalloids), and transition metals, and combinations thereof, such as In, Ge, F, Cl, and I.In
- indices “a”, “x” and “z” in the components CuO a , SnO x and NiO z indicate that these oxides do not have to be present in stoichiometric form in the corresponding materials either.
- the elements Cu and Ni substitute Sn for tin in the material, F replaces oxygen.
- the corresponding components are then present in different oxidation states. For example, in a doped SnO? not all Sn are in the +4 oxidation state. It is therefore also not possible to give precise information about the values of a, x and z.
- dopants are added in the range between at least about 1% by weight and at most about 2% by weight. However, it has been shown that good results can also be obtained with higher dopant contents of more than 2% by weight and even up to about 10% by weight.
- the coating system is arranged on both sides of the glass substrate, and wherein the Each coating system preferably comprises two layers, namely a metallic layer which is arranged between the at least one side of the glass substrate and a further layer, with one layer preferably directly adjoining the at least one side of the glass substrate, with the further layer being designed as a barrier coating comprising an oxide and/or nitride and/or oxintride of a metal and/or semimetal, and the further layer preferably directly adjoins the one metallic layer.
- the pane-shaped glass article can be described as having a sandwich structure in which the coating system is applied on both sides and the glass substrate is arranged in the middle between the two coating systems.
- the coating system in each case does not include an additional layer.
- the microwave oven door comprising the glass article according to embodiments also comprises a further pane-shaped glass article, on at least one side the further glass sheet article is provided with a layer comprising a transparent conductive oxide and wherein the glass sheet article is formed such that the coating system is arranged on both sides of the glass sheet article and wherein the coating system does not comprise a layer comprising a transparent conductive oxide.
- the glass article is designed in such a way that the coating system is designed in such a way that the microwave reflection of a glass article in which the coating system is only arranged on one side of the glass substrate, determined for the side of the glass article on which the coating system is arranged, differs by no more than 30%, preferably no more than 20%, from the microwave reflection intended for the side of the glass article on which the coating system is not arranged, is obtained, preferably determined for a microwave frequency of between 2.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz.
- the disc-shaped glass article can be built into the appliance or in its door in such a way that the coating system can be oriented towards the interior of the microwave appliance or pointing outwards. In any case, however, there must be sufficient microwave reflection, i.e. "from both sides”. Differences in reflectivity for different orientations of the disk relative to the source of microwave radiation are caused by interface effects and the vitreous material of the glass disk article or substrate.
- the coating system is preferably arranged away from the cooking chamber in order to avoid damage during cleaning processes.
- this haze has less than 5%, preferably less than 2% and particularly preferably less than 1%.
- the proportion of scattering of the visible light is very small and is therefore less than 5%, preferably less than 2% and particularly preferably less than 1%.
- the disc-shaped glass article is designed in such a way that between the side of the glass substrate and the metallic layer there is a coating comprising an oxide and/or nitride and/or oxynitride of silicon, aluminum, titanium, tantalum, niobium, chromium, yttrium, zirconium , hafnium, tin or a combination thereof is arranged.
- a coating comprising an oxide and/or nitride and/or oxynitride of silicon, aluminum, titanium, tantalum, niobium, chromium, yttrium, zirconium , hafnium, tin or a combination thereof is arranged.
- Such coatings can easily be designed in such a way that the dispersion of the coating or of the material comprised by the coating changes differs from that of the material of the metallic layer, so that an interference-optical effect occurs in this way. This is easily possible with a composition of the coating as mentioned above.
- the coating is also produced using a vacuum method, particularly preferably using the same method that is also used to produce the coating system itself.
- a vacuum method particularly preferably using the same method that is also used to produce the coating system itself.
- the disk-shaped glass article is advantageously designed in such a way that it has a temperature resistance, so that the
- Color locus difference between the color locus of the glass article after coating and after a heat treatment at 250° C. for 100 hours, AE, is at most 2, preferably at most 1, the color difference, AE, being defined as where the color locus E is given in the CIEL*a*b* system and where the index “0” refers to the color locus before temperature treatment and the index “T” refers to the color locus after Temperature treatment relates, in which case the color values L*, a*, b* can preferably be obtained via a measurement with a spectrophotometer, such as the photometer CM-700d from Konica-Minolta, and/or so that the microwave reflection after the temperature treatment has taken place at 250°C for 100 hours is at most 5%, preferably at most 2%, smaller than before the temperature treatment.

- the optional coating arranged between the glass substrate and the metallic layer such a configuration can be used in particular for reasons of the user! sure to be cheap. Furthermore, design aspects are also taken into account in this way.
- FIG. 3 A suitable measurement setup for the microwave reflection is shown schematically in FIG. 3, for example.
- the disclosure also relates to a door for a microwave assembly, comprising at least one sheet-shaped glass article according to one embodiment.
- a special combination of embodiments of the pane-shaped glass article can also be combined with other panes of the glass article.
- the appliance door or its pane structure comprises a further pane-shaped glass article, with a layer comprising a transparent conductive oxide being arranged on at least one side of the further pane-shaped glass article and with the pane-shaped glass article being designed in such a way that the coating system is applied to both sides of the glass sheet article and wherein the coating system does not include a layer comprising a transparent conductive oxide.
- the disk-shaped This can be advantageous for glass articles which themselves do not comprise any transparent conductive oxide and/or in which the coating system is applied to both sides of the glass article in the form of a pane.
- microwave oven including a door and/or a sheet-shaped glass article according to embodiments.
- this microwave oven can also be designed as a combi-device and include other options for heating the food to be cooked, for example, circulating air heating of the food can also be provided.
- a disc-shaped glass article which has a metallic layer without a further layer with a barrier effect.
- the metallic layer is formed here as a 20 nm thick NiCr layer and is formed as a chromium-nickel (CrNi) layer with a composition of 90:10 chromium:nickel (by weight).
- the disk-shaped glass article according to exemplary embodiment 1 is designed such that, in addition to the metallic layer according to the comparative example, it has a layer which is only 20 nm thick and comprises aluminum-doped SisN-t, with the metallic component being 10% by weight aluminum and 90% by weight silicon present.
- the metallic component of the further coating is generally understood here to mean the component of the material comprised by the further layer which is not a non-metal. In this sense, in the context of the present application, the semimetal silicon generally also counted as a metal or as a metallic component.
- the composition of the further layer according to Example 1 is given in abbreviated form as follows: Al-SisN (10/90).
- the disc-shaped glass article according to exemplary embodiment 2 also comprises a layer which is also only 20 nm thick, here comprising aluminum-doped SiCh.
- a layer which is also only 20 nm thick here comprising aluminum-doped SiCh.
- 10% by weight of aluminum and 90% by weight of silicon are present with regard to the metallic component.
- the composition of the further layer according to Example 2 is given in abbreviated form as follows: Al—SiCh (10/90).
- the properties of these sheet-like glass articles after coating has taken place but before exposure to heat are summarized in the table below.
- the specified microwave reflection (MW reflection) was determined for the coating side, here at a measuring frequency between 2.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz.
- the additional layers SiCh and SisN shown in Table 5 can be doped with aluminum; the ratio of aluminum to silicon can preferably be 20:80, 10:90 or 5:95, in each case based on the weight.
- Example 1 already shows a very clear improvement in temperature stability, but shows a high b* value, so that the resulting disc-shaped glass article is clearly noticeable in terms of color in comparison to the comparative example, which is more neutral in color.
- this color can be reduced by using an oxidic coating material, as is the case in example 2.
- the transmission of the disk-shaped glass article is also increased (by approximately 7%) compared to the comparative example or to an at least predominantly nitridic barrier coating, as in example
- the further layer of the coating system is in spite of the very small layer thickness of, for example--as is the case in Examples 1 and 2--only 20 nm in the layer to effectively prevent degradation of the disk-shaped glass article.
- ToF-SIMS studies show that the additional layer of the coating system reduces oxidation of the metallic layer.
- a clear oxygen signal can be detected for the metallic layer after thermal stress at 250° C. for 100 hours. This is not the case for examples 1 and 2. Rather, these show the oxygen signal essentially unchanged and accordingly also no visually visible degradation.

- the corresponding ToF-SIMS profiles are also shown in FIGS. 2a) to c), 2a) showing the ToF-SIMS profiles of the comparative example, 2b) of example 1 and 2c) of example 2.
- Curves 201, 203, 205 are the profiles in the as-received state, i.e. after coating has taken place and without any thermal stress.
- the curves 202, 204 and 205 are the corresponding profiles after such a temperature treatment.
- curve 202 shows a significant increase in the oxygen signal compared to curve 201. This increase in the oxygen signal cannot be seen in FIGS. 2b) and 2c), rather the ToF-SIMS profiles before and after temperature treatment do not differ significantly from one another here.
- the table below also lists microwave reflection values at different measurement frequencies for the abovementioned examples 1 and 2 and for the comparative example.
- the microwave reflection can be between 20% and 95%, preferably between 50% and 80%, particularly preferably between 60% and 75%, determined for a frequency of 2.3 GHz and/or for a frequency of 2.4 GHz and/or for a frequency of 2.45
- FIG. 3 photographic representations of the waveguide and a sample of a disc-shaped glass article and a schematic and not true to scale structure of a device for determining the micro wave enrefl exi on
- Figures 4 through 6 show optical spectra of samples according to the present disclosure.
- the glass article 1 here is disc-shaped in the form that its thickness is at least an order of magnitude smaller than its length and width.
- the length and width geometrically determine the size of the main surfaces, which are also simply referred to as “sides” in the case of a disc-shaped glass article 1 .
- sides In contrast to the sides are the edges of the glass article, which have a significantly smaller area compared to the sides.
- Disc-shaped can also be used synonymously with "plate-shaped”.
- a pane-shaped glass article can generally also be referred to as a glass pane or glass plate for short.
- the top of the glass article 1 is denoted by 11 in FIG. Owing to the illustration, the thin layers of the coating system are not shown in FIG. 1a and are accordingly not labeled.
- the glass article 1 can be in the form of a curved or curved pane or a flat pane.
- a glass article 1 is generally understood to mean a finished glass substrate, in particular a coated glass substrate, without being restricted to a specific embodiment.
- the sides of the glass substrate and the glass article correspond to one another in the sense that the top side of the glass substrate, even if layers are arranged on it, also represents the top side of the glass article.
- Fig. 1b shows an embodiment of a disk-shaped glass article 1 schematically and not true to scale.
- the disk-shaped glass article 1 comprises a glass substrate 10.
- the coating system 100 which comprises the metallic layer 110 and the further layer 120, is arranged on the side 11 of the glass substrate 10.
- the side 12 of the glass substrate 10 is not covered with a coating system here, but instead is uncoated.
- the coating system 100 may comprise further layers, for example yet another layer comprising a transparent conductive material.
- a coating may be arranged between the coating system 100 and the side 11 of the glass substrate 10, for example for color locus adjustment or optionally alternatively or additionally as a barrier layer against the escape of ions from the glass substrate into the metallic layer.
- the coating system 100 is also possible for the coating system 100 to be applied to both sides 11 , 12 of the glass substrate 10 .
- Such a glass article 1 is then particularly suitable for a pane structure of a door for a microwave device, in which the pane structure comprises a further pane-shaped glass article in which a material layer comprising a TCO material is applied to at least one side.
- Fig. 2a) to c) show ToF-SIMS profiles of the oxygen signal for the samples discussed in the example part before and after heat treatment at 250°C for 100 hours.
- the ToF-SIMS profiles of the comparative example, in 2b) of example 1 and in 2c) of example 2 are shown in FIG. 2a).
- Curves 201, 203, 205 are the profiles in the as-received state, ie after coating has taken place and without thermal stress.
- the curves 202, 204 and 206 are the corresponding profiles after such a temperature treatment.
- the oxygen signal is an indication on the composition of the sample from the top of the sample into the bulk of the sample.
- sample a (which only has a metallic layer) initially shows a drop in the oxygen signal in the area of the metallic layer, which is followed by an increase.
- this curve can also be seen in the samples in Figures b) and c), where, however, a nitric (Fig. 2b) and an oxidic (Fig. 2c) layer were applied to the metallic layer in front of the metallic layer with only a small oxygen signal are.
- This signal connects to the substrate, the glass substrate is in turn oxidic.
- the oxygen signal for curve 202 is significantly increased compared to that of curve 201, which indicates a strong oxidation of the NiCr coating.
- Fig. 3 shows two photographic representations, on the one hand a sample holder 3 comprising a measurement sample of a disc-shaped glass article 1 according to one embodiment and a photographic representation of a waveguide 41.
- the measurement setup 4 for determining the microwave reflection of a disk-shaped glass article 1 is shown in the lower part of FIG. 3 .
- the glass article 1 is placed in a sample holder (not shown here) at the end of the waveguide 41 .
- Microwave radiation is generated by means of the microwave generator 42 and directed through the waveguide 41 onto the disk-shaped glass article 1 .
- the reflected microwave radiation can be determined using the microwave analyzer 43 .
- a suitable microwave generator 42 is, for example, the SMS 2.1 model from S-Team, which is suitable for generating microwaves in the frequency range from 2.1 to 2.7 GHz.
- the measurement is often carried out at 2.45 GHz. However, it is generally possible for the measurement frequency to be between 2.3 GHz and 2.7 GHz.
- Such a generator is suitable for providing lower outputs in the MW range.
- pane-shaped glass articles 1 pane structures for doors of microwave ovens are generally possible, in which the leakage radiation through the glass front is less than 5 mW/cm 2 , preferably less than 2 mW/cm 2 .
- the microwave leakage radiation is generally determined based on or according to a test according to the Australian standards AS NZS 60335.2.25 and AS/NZS 3760.
- the microwave leakage radiation is determined for a frequency of approximately 2.45 GHz, corresponding to a wavelength by 12.24 cm.
- a standard microwave detector capable of detecting RF (radio frequency) radiation in a range between 0 mW/cm 2 and 100 mW/cm 2 is used for the test.
- a sensor with a measuring range between 0 mW/cm 2 and 80 mW/cm 2 or between 0 mW/cm 2 and 40 mW/cm 2 or even between 0 mW/cm 2 and 10 mW/cm 2 can also be used , depending on how well the microwave shielding is provided by the glass article according to embodiments. With very good shielding from microwave radiation, it can be advantageous to select a smaller measuring range.
- the resolution is preferably 0.1 mW/cm 2 .
- a glass of water (about 275 ml of water) is then placed in the microwave oven and heated at 800 watts of microwave power.
- the microwave detector is moved along the corners and edges and the outer surface of the glass article during the heating process in order to determine whether microwave radiation is escaping.
- the emitted microwave radiation must not exceed 5 mW/cm 2 .
- 4 to 6 show optical spectra of glass articles according to the comparative example and according to examples 1 and 2 from Table 5 above. The spectra are shown after a temperature treatment of 250 °C for 100 hours (reference numbers 51 to 53, 61 to 63 and 71 to 73) and before the temperature treatment (reference numbers 54 to 56, 64 to 66 and 74 to 76).
- Curves 54 and 51 were obtained from Table 5 for example 2, ie for an essentially oxidic further layer.
- Curve 54 the transmission after thermal stress
- curve 51 the difference here is rather small and this coating system is therefore also sufficiently temperature-stable in terms of transmission.
- FIG. 6 shows reflection spectra, but now determined from the layer side.
- curve 73 for the comparative example has the lowest reflectivity after tempering and has dropped significantly compared to the reflectivity of the starting sample (curve 76).
- the reflectivity on the layer side is more affected by the heat treatment than that on the glass side (see differences between curves 75 and 72 for example 1; curves 71 and 74 for example 2), the values after heat treatment for the examples show a significantly higher Reflection than the comparative example and thus demonstrate a significantly higher temperature stability of samples according to embodiments.
