[Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention provides a high refractive index material for high temperature use, which has thermal properties with a transition point of 700°C or higher, a softening point of 900°C or higher, and optical properties with a refractive index (n D ) of 1.6 or higher. Regarding glass. [Technical background of the invention and its problems] Aluminosilicate glass is generally put into practical use as stove top glass and combustion tube glass. In other words, the glass composition is RO−Al 2 O 3
SiO 2 type (RO is a modified oxide) is used. Examples of this type of glass include Corning's #1710 and #1720 glasses, which each have a softening point of 900°C or higher, and are used as a substitute for quartz glass for halogen lamp bulb materials that require heat resistance. It is applied. However, the glass components used in these glasses are
There are many CaO, MgO, BaO, etc. except for BaO.
Both SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 have little effect on the refractive index, and even if BaO is a single component, there is a limit to extremely increasing the refractive index. Conventionally, as a glass component that increases the refractive index.
TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , BaO, La 2 O 3 , PbO, etc. are known, and lead glass containing TiO 2 such as BaSF 7 has been the main type of general optical glass. However, although these lead glasses can easily have a relatively high refractive index of about 1.70, they have a low softening point, making it extremely difficult to obtain physical properties that can withstand use at high temperatures. [Object of the invention] The present invention was made based on the above circumstances, and
It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-temperature high-refractive-index glass that has a high transition point and softening point that can sufficiently withstand usage conditions at high temperatures, and also has a high refractive index and is particularly suitable for optical applications. [Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is based on aluminosilicate glass, (RO- Al2O3 - SiO2 ) , and RO is made of titanium oxide ( TiO2 ), zirconium oxide ( ZrO2 ), The aim is to substitute high refractive index oxides such as barium oxide (BaO), lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ), and lead oxide (PbO), and to find the optimal range of glass compositions containing these. [Examples of the Invention] The details of the present invention will be described below with reference to Examples. The glass composition in this example has silicon oxide (SiO 2 ), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), barium oxide (BaO), and lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ) as essential components, and titanium oxide ( It is made by adding high refractive index components such as TiO 2 ), lead oxide (PbO), and zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ). In determining the respective chemical components in the above glass composition, the problem in terms of characteristics that originally posed a problem was the structure for preventing the re-foaming phenomenon (reboiling) that occurs during thermal processing using a burner. That is, when the glass is reprocessed or reheated once it is formed into a tube or bulb, numerous small bubbles are generated in the glass, so that the glass does not lose its transparency.
This is a phenomenon that changes the color to white and leads to deterioration in both appearance and strength. Here, the present inventor has developed a combination of components that maintain a high refractive index such as aluminum oxide, barium oxide, and lanthanum oxide, and magnesium oxide (MgO),
It has been discovered that the reboiling tendency described above can be minimized by adjusting the interaction with divalent alkaline earth metal oxides such as calcium oxide (CaO) and strontium oxide (SrO) as shown in the claims above. It was. That is, the high refractive index glass for high temperature use of the present invention has the composition shown below in weight percent. SiO 2 35-55% by weight Al 2 O 3 10-18 〃 BaO 10-35 〃 La 2 O 3 TiO 2 ZrO 2 PbO 10-30 〃 0-10 〃 0-5 〃 0-15 〃 Total amount 12-32 Weight% MgO CaO SrO ZnO 0-5 〃 0-10 〃 0-10 〃 0-5 〃 Total amount 1-15 〃 As 2 O 3 0-0.5 Weight% Sb 2 O 3 0-0.5 〃 Total amount 0.02-0.8 Weight % Conversion point 700°C or higher Addition point 900°C or higher Refractive index (n D ) 1.6 or higher The reason for limiting each component will be described below.
SiO2 is an absolutely necessary glass-forming oxide and 35%
If it is less than 55%, it is unacceptable because the glass structure becomes loose and the softening point and chemical durability are lowered, and if it exceeds 55%, the refractive index becomes too low, which is unacceptable. Al2O3 _
is an essential component; if it is less than 10%, a high softening point cannot be obtained, and if it is more than 18%, the viscosity of the glass becomes high, making it difficult to mold. If BaO is less than 10%, a high refractive index cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 35%, the glass tends to devitrify, making it unsuitable. La 2 O 3 is also an essential component and requires 10-30% to maintain the refractive index, but by adding TiO 2 , ZnO 2 , PbO, etc. as selective components, the total amount of these can be increased to 12-32%. is necessary.
The total amount of MgO, CaO, SrO, and ZnO is 1 to 15%
Within this range, it has the effect of inhibiting the reboiling phenomenon. Finally, As 2 O 3 and Sb 2 O 3 are both added as clarifying agents, and the total amount is limited to 0.8%.
If it exceeds this, reboiling will be accelerated, which is not preferable. Furthermore, if the transition point is lower than 700°C and the softening point is lower than 900°C, it cannot be used as a high-temperature glass. Furthermore, a refractive index of less than 1.6 is not acceptable because no lens effect can be expected. The following table shows the changes in physical and optical properties of samples fabricated with different compositions in various Examples based on the above configuration, together with comparative examples. To manufacture these sample glasses, raw materials prepared in advance in a predetermined amount were put into a platinum crucible, then melted at a melting temperature of 1550°C to 1600°C, and processed into tubes or rods to prepare samples.

As detailed above, the present invention is based on alumino, silicate glass RO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 system.
Further stabilization is achieved by replacing RO with high refractive index oxides such as titanium oxide (TiO 2 ), zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ), barium oxide (BaO), lanthanum oxide (La 2 O 3 ), and lead oxide (PbO). Since it is a high-temperature high-refractive-index glass made by adding a divalent alkaline earth metal oxide as an agent, it can have high thermal properties with a glass transition point of 700°C or higher and a softening point of 900°C or higher. 2. Since it has a high refractive index (n D ) of 1.60 or more, it has the advantage that it can be used, for example, as a coating glass for optical fibers for infrared measurement.
