前記フロートガラス板の両主面のうち前記バス内で前記溶融金属側に位置する主面上の任意の点を原点とする板厚方向と平行な座標軸上において、原点からの距離を表す座標x(μm)でのガラス中の水分濃度をC(x)(質量ppm)、前記フロートガラス板の板厚をD(μm)、前記C(x)の最大値をCa(質量ppm)、前記C(x)が最大となる座標をDa(μm)とすると、下記式(1)を満たす。なお、上記「前記溶融金属側に位置する主面」とは、前記フロートガラス板の両主面のうち前記溶融金属に接する主面が研磨されていない場合は前記溶融金属に接する主面を意味し、前記溶融金属に接する主面が研磨されている場合は、研磨面を意味する。
溶融ガラスをバス内の溶融金属上に連続的に供給し、該溶融ガラスを前記溶融金属上で流動させて帯板状に成形する成形工程を有するフロートガラス板の製造方法において、
前記成形工程において、前記溶融ガラスから前記溶融金属に溶出する水分量が、前記バス内に供給される直前の溶融ガラス中の水分量の0.5%超~2.0%以下である。
フロートガラス板10は、詳しくは後述するが、溶融ガラスをバス内の溶融金属(例えば溶融スズ)上に連続的に供給し、該溶融ガラスを溶融金属上で流動させて成形される。溶融ガラスは、溶融金属上で所定方向に流動しながら冷却され、バスの出口付近で溶融金属から引き上げられる。引き上げられたガラスは徐冷炉内で徐冷された後、所定の寸法形状に切断され、製品であるフロートガラス板10(以下、単に「ガラス板10」という)が得られる。
図3は、本発明の一実施形態によるガラス板の製造方法の説明図である。図4は、成形装置の内部構造の一例を示す上面図である。図3及び図4において、X方向、Y方向、Z方向は、フロートガラス板となる溶融ガラスのバス内での長手方向(流動方向と平行な方向)、幅方向、上下方向(鉛直方向)をそれぞれ表す。X方向、Y方向、Z方向は、互いに直交する方向である。
例1~例9では、溶融ガラスを溶融スズ上に連続的に供給し、該溶融ガラスを溶融スズ上で流動させて、板厚0.7mmのガラス板を作製した。ガラス板は、無アルカリガラスからなり、酸化物基準の質量%表示で、SiO2:60%、Al2O3:17%、B2O3:8%、MgO:3%、CaO:4%、SrO:8%、MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO:15%を含有する。ガラス板の化学組成は、蛍光X線分析装置(理学電気工業株式会社製、ZSX100e)で測定した。
