There will be inclusions such as bubbles, nodules, crystals, and stones in the vitreous. These defects in the vitreous body greatly reduce the quality of the glass. In the case of borosilicate glass, stones are a dangerous defect in the vitreous. They are crystalline solid inclusions that appear in the glass and they have a great influence on the glass. They are more likely to be caused when borosilicate glass fiber precursors are stretched. Brushed guils and flying wires. Even if these stones do not cause breakage, they will greatly reduce the strength of the fiberglass.
The main causes of stones in high borosilicate glass electrofusion cellars are as follows:
(1) Raw material stones are mainly caused by the high concentration of mineral raw materials and insufficient contact with molten glass caused by uneven mixing of batch materials. The incompletely melted particles flow out along with the molten glass, forming granular or flocculent stones.
(2) Stones introduced by clinker, clinker from borosilicate glass electrofusion cellars from defective balls, clinker from pelletizing, and glass blocks from dismantled kilns. Defective balls and frit blocks in the kiln are usually clean and do not cause stones. The clinker produced by pelletizing inevitably mixes with other impurities, so some knots are produced.
(3) Refractory stones, refractory materials interact with borosilicate glass or volatile products for a long time, and are corroded and enter the borosilicate glass liquid to produce stones. In high borosilicate glass electrofusion cellars, this is mainly caused by the corrosion of quartz bricks. When the quartz brick is corroded by high-temperature borosilicate glass, the quartz brick will become cristobalite and become metastable cristobalite, and a large number of scaly cracks will appear. When metastable cristobalite is corroded by glass, the large particles gradually break down into small particles that enter the molten glass and form stones, which are mostly opaque white.
(4) Crystalline stone is mainly caused by the existence of "dead ends" in the kiln, and the temperature of dead ends is within the range of crystallization growth temperature for a long time.
(5) The heating of the exotic impurity stone, high borosilicate glass electrofusion cellar is heated by carbon rods. When the carbon rod breaks due to arc discharge, the resulting carbon rod slag will enter the molten glass, resulting in the appearance of black stones in the product. In addition, molybdenum electrodes are used in high-borosilicate glass electric melting furnaces. When the liquid level of the glass is low, the molybdenum will oxidize at high temperatures, and black stones will also appear. The number of stones caused by these two phenomena is also relatively small, but if an abnormality occurs, a large number of stones will continue to be produced.

What are the advantages of borosilicate glass and how it differs from ordinary glass
High borosilicate glass is a special glass material with low expansion rate, high temperature resistance, high hardness, high light transmittance and high chemical stability. Due to its excellent performance, it is widely used in solar energy, chemical and pharmaceutical packaging, electric light sources, craft jewelry and other industries. Its good performance has been widely recognized by all walks of life in the world, especially in the field of solar energy, its application is becoming more and more extensive, and developed regions such as Germany and the United States have also been more widely promoted. The high borosilicate glass fire resistance and physical strength make it ideal for laboratories. It is used in the manufacture of high-durability glass in laboratory equipment, such as beakers and test tubes. Glass cookware is another common usage. The U.S. standard plate is almost entirely made of borosilicate glass. High borosilicate glass measuring cups with scales can be used for measurement and are also widely used in American kitchens. High-quality high borosilicate glass tube processing equipment, high transparency and wear resistance. Wear-resistant, smooth surface, easy to clean, healthy and hygienic. It can be used for solar collector tubes, chemical instruments, dayware and lighting glass. It is characterized by a small coefficient of expansion and is not easy to break under sudden temperature changes of 0-200 degrees; Resistant to acid and alkali, water, corrosion, etc.! High borosilicate glass, also known as hard glass, uses the properties of glass to conduct electricity at high temperatures. It is heated inside the glass to melt the glass.

Problem solving in the operation of automatic feeder
The solution of the belt conveyor frame colliding with the breast wall of the melting pool space of the electric melting furnace: add a collision power-off device at the head of the conveyor, and during operation, once the contact of this device touches the obstacle, the equipment will be stopped by the trigger switch.
Furnace pool wall air-cooled solution
In many electric furnace designs, the problem of pool wall air cooling is not considered, and only when needed is a fan is temporarily installed to pull a few pipes. In general, it will continue for the entire furnace age. There are two types of pool wall air cooling schemes:
Cosmetic glass manufacturers introduce the advantages of high borosilicate glass
Since the high borosilicate glass contains boron trioxide in its structure, the glass has a low thermal expansion coefficient. At the same time, it will not break at harsh ambient temperatures like ordinary glass. Therefore, many different industries can use it as a good choice to produce products. In addition, what are the main advantages of it? Below and cosmetic glass manufacturers to learn about it!
What are the advantages of choosing high borosilicate glass?
Since the structure of the high borosilicate glass contains diboron trioxide, the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass is low. At the same time, it will not break at high temperatures like ordinary glass.
