Abstract

479,631. Glass manufacture. CORNING GLASS WORKS. Dec. 24, 1936, No. 35418. Convention date, Dec. 30, 1935. Drawings to Specification. [Class 56] A method of stabilizing the molecular arrangement of annealed glass articles, particularly thermometers, consists in maintaining an article for a relatively short time at a temperature substantially higher than the maximum temperature to which the article will be subjected in service but below the strain temperature of the glass. The treatment may be applied to a thermometer adapted for use up to 360‹ C. and having the glass of its stem composed of 61À9 per cent of silica. 0À2 per cent of boron trioxide, 1À9 per cent of alumina, 10À9 per cent of sodium oxide, 1À0 per cent of potassium oxide, and 24 per cent of lead oxide, while the bulb is composed of 68À8 per cent of silica, 2À3 per cent of boron trioxide, 1À5 per cent of alumina, 14À7 per cent of sodium oxide, 5À7 per cent of calcium oxide, and 7À0 per cent of zinc oxide. Compositions of other glasses with their strain temperatures and expansion coefficients are given in the Specification. The thermometer is subjected to a temperature of 505‹ C. near the strain temperature of the glass of the bulb, and is maintained at this temperature for a relatively short time. It is then maintained at successively lower temperatures for relatively longer times until the temperature is near the strain temperature of the glass of the stem where it is again held for a relatively short time. Again it is maintained at successively lower temperatures for relatively longer times until the temperature is near the highest temperature to which it will be subjected in use, and after treatment at this temperature it is brought to room temperature.
