Some archival information about quartz glass
Quartz glass is a special type of glass composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO2), often containing very high purity silica.
1. Features and uses:
High transparency: Quartz glass has excellent transparency and is suitable for use in optical devices, optical lenses and other fields.
High temperature resistance: Quartz glass can withstand extremely high temperatures, so it is often used in high-temperature experiments, furnaces, optical devices, etc.
Chemical stability: It has good stability against corrosive substances such as acids and alkalis, and is suitable for chemical laboratory containers, chemical reactors, etc.
Mechanical properties: It has high hardness and tensile strength and is not easily scratched or damaged.
Low thermal expansion coefficient: Quartz glass has a low thermal expansion coefficient, making it less likely to change in shape and size when temperature changes.
2. Application areas:
Optics: optical lenses, optical windows, laser devices, etc.
Chemistry: Chemistry laboratory equipment, chemical reactors, laboratory glassware, etc.
Industrial: Furnaces, heat treatment equipment, semiconductor manufacturing, etc.
Scientific research: scientific experimental equipment, optical research equipment, etc.
3. Manufacturing process:
quartz
The manufacturing process requires strict control of temperature, pressure and atmosphere to ensure the quality and purity of the final product.
