Fused silica glass examples.

The purities of fused quartz and fused silica are outstandingly high. Because of the way fused silica is made it has superior ultraviolet performance to natural quartz and is ideal for applications such as uv transmitting optics. Bevelled glass examples duration. Synthetic fused silica from heraeus contains total metallic contamination below 1ppm.

Typical of glasses it lacks long range order in its atomic structure. Fused silica sio 2 glass properties. Fused silica is a hard high purity glass with high use temperature and near zero thermal expansion and so is extremely thermal shock resistant. To learn more about how fused silica fits into your application contact swift glass today.

Fused silica often referred to as synthetic quartz is created by using high purity silica sand that has been manufactured from sicl4 resulting in a transparent glass with an ultra high purity and improved optical transmission. Machining example for deep hole machining. This section contains more 3d oriented fused glass projects and in larger sizes. It s highly cross linked three dimensional structure gives rise to it s high use temperature and low thermal expansion coefficient.

Free fused glass projects by glass art patterns are comprised of glass vases bowl and plates. A brief look at some of the recent fused glass panels created by our studio. Fused silica glass borosilicate glassmachining examples. Corning hpfs 7980 uv grade.

It has the highest temperature characteristics of any glass and it often begins as pure silicon gas. It is also chemically inert to most substances except for a few substances including hydrofluoric acid and hot potassium hydroxide. For fused quartz the amount is approximately 20 ppm and consists primarily of al2o3 with much smaller amounts of alkalis fe 2 o 3 tio 2 mgo and zro 2. Amorphous glasses including fused silica can be etched in a similar way to sc quartz.

There are no products listed under this category. Examples are the isotropic etching of borosilicate glass in hf acid in which a strip opening in the masking layer will result in a hemispherical channel structure if sufficient etch time is allowed. Corning hpfs 7980 industrial grade. Custom machined fused silica products.

Quartz glass micro machining. Fused silica is a noncrystalline glass form of silicon dioxide quartz sand. A few examples of fused silica are.
