- the "crystallization treatment column” in Table 2 means that the product was held at the temperature and time described in the upper row and then held at the temperature and time described in the lower row. ..
- “750 ° C-4h” is described in the upper row and "920 ° C-4h” is described in the lower row, it means that the product was held at 750 ° C. for 4 hours and then at 920 ° C. for 4 hours.
- Table 2 shows the results of evaluating the obtained crystallized glass.
- Examples 2 and 4 are Examples, and Examples 1, 3, 5 and 6 are Comparative Examples.
- the precipitated crystals of Examples 2 to 6 were ⁇ -spodium crystals.
- Examples 2 and 4 of the three-dimensional shaped glass of the present invention have a maximum retardation value of 20 nm or less, and have higher strength and shape stability (molding) than Example 1 which is a comparative example. Stability) was shown. Further, the haze value in the maximum R shape was 1.0% or less, and the transparency was excellent.
- Examples 2 and 4 produced by crystallizing amorphous glass satisfying the composition range specified in the present invention after bending molding are heated at the time of molding as compared with Examples 3 and 6 obtained by bending molding after crystallization. It was possible to suppress the deterioration of haze due to the above, and to achieve high transparency.
- the stress difference generated during molding can be reduced by heat treatment for crystallization to improve the strength, and the deterioration of haze can be suppressed to provide excellent transparency. It turned out that can be realized.
- the present invention it is possible to provide a three-dimensional shaped glass having excellent strength, transparency and shape stability, and a method for manufacturing the same.
