Properties of molten glasses and interpretation of melting processes
(viscosity, crystallization, surface tension, thermal and electrical
conductivity). Mechanism of glass melting procesThe course shows the basic principles and technological methods of preparation of industrial glass, glass ceramics, whiteware and kitchenware ceramic
It points out the connection between the choice of production processes and the achievement of the desired product properties
The course introduces the features and quality testing of those materialsses, description of
technological processes (batch preparation, melting furnaces, hot forming and
annealing of glass). The main types of commercial glasses, their properties.
Glass-ceramic materials. Ceramics on basis of clay raw materials (porcelain,
earthenware, stoneware, bricks).
