[Related Art] In recent years, lenses processed into an aspherical surface on compact discs and cameras have been mounted for improving performance and reducing weight. In connection with this, precision press molding technology that does not require aspheric surface processing technology has been developed from conventional grinding and polishing, and accordingly the demand for glass that can be pressed at lower temperature has increased. ing. However, conventional optical glasses that can be pressed only at a high temperature of 650 ° C. or higher, and those that can be pressed at a relatively low temperature mostly contain lead oxide that adversely affects the mold material.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional BaSF type optical glass includes lead oxide which has an adverse effect on a mold material and a yield temperature (At).
Was 600 ° C. or higher, and only those having a pressing temperature exceeding 650 ° C. and adversely affecting the life of the mold material existed. In the case of a known mold material in precision press molding, when the molding temperature is high, oxidation of the mold material occurs, which makes it difficult to shorten the life of the mold material and maintain the surface accuracy, and is not suitable for mass production. In addition, in a glass composition containing lead oxide, volatilization of lead oxide occurs during press molding, and the volatiles adhere to the surface of the mold, making it difficult to maintain surface accuracy, increasing the maintenance of the mold, and shortening the life of the mold. It could be. Therefore, it is desirable that the glass to be precision pressed be formed at the lowest possible temperature. Further, from the viewpoint of the glass composition, it is desirable that the composition does not contain lead oxide. In order to solve these problems, in the above publication of press forming glass, phosphoric acid and boric acid, which are effective for lowering the temperature, are selected for the glass forming oxide. However, in the above-mentioned phosphate glass (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-79839, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-1222749, and European Patent No. 19342), a glass composition having a low softening point is shown. ,
Although the glass composition having an optical constant of the present invention is not found, and a glass composition containing lead oxide is also found in the above-mentioned publication, it adversely affects the mold material and causes problems such as maintenance of surface accuracy. Further, some of them are insufficient in terms of chemical durability. Further, in the case of fluoroborate glass (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-144692) and fluorophosphate glass (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-59641, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-217451), fluorine is added to the glass composition. Although the introduction of fluorine is advantageous for lowering the temperature and lowering the dispersion of fluorine, it is difficult to obtain a homogeneous glass because the stability during melting of the glass is liable to be lacking and the volatilization of fluorine is involved. In addition, problems such as the influence on the environment due to the volatilization of fluorine during press molding and the influence on the molding apparatus are likely to occur.
Further, although a composition containing lead oxide is also recognized in the composition of the above-mentioned publication, it is not suitable as a press-molding glass as described above.
