Introduction
• Glass is an amorphous, hard, brittle, transparent or translucent, super-
cooled liquid, obtained by fusing a mixture of a number of metallic
silicates, most commonly Na, K,Ca and Pb”. It possesses no sharp melting
point, crystalline structure and definite formula
Represented as : xR2O. yMO. 6SiO2
R = monovalent alkali metals like Na,K
M = Divalent metals like Ca, Pb,Zn, etc
x & y = whole numbers
• Approximate composition of ordinary glass(Soda lime glass) is
Na2O . CaO . 6SiO2
• In some glasses, SiO2 may be replaced by Al2O3 . B2O3 . P2O5 , etc

General Properties of glass
 Amorphous Solid
 No definite melting point
 Very brittle
 Softens on heating
 Can absorb, reflect and transmit light
 Good electrical insulator
 Affected by alkalis
 Not affected by air,water,acid or chemical reagents . But soluble in HF which
converts into SiF4
 Possesses high compressive strength and since it doesn’t have any crystalline
structure , no slippage between planes can occur
 Light in weight because it has homogeneous internal structure similar to liquids

Glass Manufacturing
Manufacturing of glass consists of following high level steps:
1. Formation of Batch Materials
2. Melting
a. Pot furnace
b. Tank furnace
3. Forming and shaping
4. Annealing
5. Finishing
Melting
• Raw materials in proper proportions (sand, soda ash
and lime stone ) are mixed and finely powdered
• The homogenous mixture known as Batch is fused with
some broken glass , called “Cullet” in any of the two
types of furnaces
• The homogeneous mixture is melted either in
a. Pot furnace or
b. Tank furnace
• The batch melts and fuses at 1800oC
8
Melting: Pot furnace
Hot Gases
A BDC
Hot Air
Figure showing Pot furnace
 Two types of pots are used
a. Open crucible type pot
b. Closed covered type pot
 Generally closed covered type pot is used
 Pot is placed in a circle around a central
opening in its bottom
 Heated by burning producer gas and air
 Roof of the pot is constructed with refractory
material which also reflects the heat
 Also called as batch process
9
Melting: Tank Furnace
Molten gas
Burning fuel gas
A B C D
Air Fuel gas Fuel gases
Fuel gas and air being
heated by hot checker
work
 The “batch” is melted in the tank using
producer gas and air
 It follows “regenerative system of heat
economy”
 Air and fuel passes through A & B
 The burnt gases are deflected by the roof
and “batch” gets melted
 Hot waste gas escapes through firebricks
C & D
 The direction of the fuel gas & air is reversed through C & D , which absorbs the
heat of the waste gas and burns
 The waste gas now escapes through A & B
Figure showing tank furnace
10
Forming & Shaping, Annealing and Finishing
 Molten glass is converted to desired shape by blowing or molding or pressing
between rollers - “Forming and Shaping”
 Articles are then cooled gradually at room temperature. - “Annealing”
The longer the annealing period better the quality of glass
 After annealing, the articles are subjected to cleaning, polishing, cutting, sand
blasting etc., - “Finishing”
Types of glasses
1. Soda-lime or soda glass
2. Potash lime or hard glass
3. Lead glass or Flint glass
4. Borosilicate glass or Pyrex glass or Jena
glass
5. Alumina silicate glass
