Abstract
476,401. Tempering glass. CORNING GLASS WORKS. Jan. 20, 1937, No. 1724. Convention date, Jan. 31, 1936, [Class 56] An electric insulator having a head and a skirt, particularly of the kind used for suspending power cables, is made of glass and is hardened or tempered in such a manner that the skirt is untempered, or is less highly tempered than the head, so that breakage of the skirt does not cause the whole insulator to shatter. The glass used for the insulator may consist of 80À6 per cent of SiO2, 13À0 per cent of B2O3, 4-4 per cent of Na2O, and 2À0 per cent of Al2O3. The insulator, preferably as it is taken from the press, is heated to a temperature of 550‹ C. in a suitable furnace, or by submerging it in a bath composed of molten inorganic salt. It is then chilled in such a manner that the desired distribution of stresses is obtained. For example, a nozzle may be inserted in the pin hole of the insulator, and a stream of high velocity air directed on to the walls of the hole. A high velocity. air blast is also directed against the outer side of the head while the skirt is cooled at a slower rate. Alternatively, the pin hole and the head may be chilled by a jet of molten inorganic salt, such as a eutectic mixture of sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate, held at a temperature of 250-300‹ C., while the surfaces of the skirt may be chilled by an air blast. In another modification, the head may be highly tempered while the skirt is annealed.
