Definitions
- the present invention relates to glasses having a refractive index of more than 1.880, an Abbe number of more than or equal to 30.4, and a density of less than 4.1.
- Such glasses are of great interest for ophthalmic applications, particularly in the case of large corrective-vision levels: the high refractive index allows limiting the thickness of the glasses.
- the moderate density and the relatively high Abbe number also contribute to the comfort of the wearer.
- glasses that are easy to manufacture and that have a low manufacturing cost.
- a low cost of raw materials and a low tendency toward devitrification are desired elements.
- European Patent No. B-570,687 describes glasses having the following composition, expressed in wt% based on the oxides:
- These glasses have a refractive index of more than 1.88, an Abbe number of more than 29, a density of less than 4.1, and an integrated transmission from 380 to 800 nm of more than 79% (under a thickness of 10 mm).
- Japanese Patent No. A-3-5340 (1991) describes glasses having a refractive index of 1.83-1.88, whose proportion is, in wt%:
- German Patent No. C-4,242,859 claims glasses with a high refractive index whose composition, defined very broadly, is close to the composition of the glasses of the invention, from which it differs notably by a lower ZrO 2 ( ⁇ 8%) content and by the obligatory presence of fluorine.
- the five specific examples described differ from the glasses of the invention in other compositional differences affecting one or more constituents.
- the invention concerns glasses having a refractive index of more than 1.880, an Abbe number of more than or equal to 30.4 and a density of less than 4.1, having the following chemical composition expressed in wt% based on the oxides:
- Preferred glasses are those having the following chemical composition expressed in wt% based on the oxides:
- Even more preferred glasses are those having the following chemical composition expressed in wt% based on the oxides:
- the glasses of the invention also have an Abbe number at a much higher level than those of European Patent No. B-570,687. In fact, Abbe numbers in the 30.4-31.3 range have been obtained, whereas those for the glasses of the examples of European Patent No. B-570,687 are of 29.6-30.6.
- the decrease in the tendency toward devitrification observed for the glasses of the invention is connected with the fact that the p incipal crystalline phase that undergoes devitrification in the glasses from European Patent No. B-570,687 is a complex oxide with a high niobium content. The decrease in the content of this element allows the decrease in the tendency toward devitrification, with the number of crystals and the rate of their growth being significantly reduced.
- the most preferred compositions also present a lower liquidus temperature.
- a refractive index of more than 1.88 cannot be obtained if the content of Nb 2 O 5 is less than 12%.
- the contents of ZrO 2 , TiO 2 and La ⁇ O j must be at least 8, 7, and 23%), respectively, and the total of the contents of these three elements must be at least 44%.
- a La 2 ⁇ 3 content of more than 32% leads to an excessively high density.
- the color of the glass is very sensitive to the TiO 2 content; for this reason, this element is limited to 1 1%.
- the oxides of alkaline earth metals and ZnO contribute to the obtention of a high index. They present the advantage of having a small influence on the dispersion.
- the oxides of alkaline earth metals limit the risk of devitrification of zirconium-rich phases.
- CaO is preferred among these oxides because it increases the-density less than BaO or ZnO. It has also been observed that it was more interesting than MgO in regard to the devitrification. Its level must be between 8 and 13%.
- SiO 2 and B 2 O 3 are necessary as glass formation agents. Lower levels than 6 and
- they are absent from the composition.
- the glass is only weakly colored. If desired, discoloration agents can be added. It is also possible to color the glass by adding the usual dyeing elements, for example, oxides of transition metals or rare earth metals.
- the glasses described in the preferred domains ranges are optimized in terms of devitrification and density.
- the invention is illustrated by the nonlimiting examples given in Table I.
- the color of the glass was determined by measuring the integrated transmission, between 380 and 800 nm, of polished samples having a thickness of 10 mm.
- Example 1 belongs to the most preferred domain Examples 2, 3 and 4 belong to the preferred domain Example 8 is not within the scope of the invention its Nb 2 O 5 content is too high and it has an unacceptable tendency toward devitrification
