  2. Glass melting furnace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_melting_furnace

    Glass Furnace by Siemens hist. 1878 Siemens Regenerator Furnace hist. 1885 in 4 Views. A glass melting furnace is designed to melt raw materials into glass. [1] Depending on the intended use, there are various designs of glass melting furnaces available. [2] [3] [4] They use different power sources. These sources are mainly fossil fueled or by ...

  3. Lehr (glassmaking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehr_(glassmaking)

    Inspector at the cool end of a lehr. In the manufacture of float glass, a lehr oven is a long kiln with an end-to-end temperature gradient, which is used for annealing newly made glass objects that are transported through the temperature gradient either on rollers or on a conveyor belt.

  4. Glass casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_casting

    The heat resistant mould is then placed in a kiln and heated to between 800 °C (1,470 °F) and 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) to melt the glass. As the glass melts it runs into and fills the mould. [9] Such kiln cast work can be of very large dimensions, as in the work of Czech artists Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová. [10]

  5. Warm glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_glass

    Warm glass or kiln-formed glass is the working of glass, usually for artistic purposes, by heating it in a kiln. The processes used depend on the temperature reached and range from fusing and slumping to casting. "Warm glass" is in contrast to the many cold-working glass processes, such as leaded glass.

  6. Annealing (glass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(glass)

    Annealing is a process of slowly cooling hot glass objects after they have been formed, to relieve residual internal stresses introduced during manufacture. Especially for smaller, simpler objects, annealing may be incidental to the process of manufacture, but in larger or more complex products it commonly demands a special process of annealing in a temperature-controlled kiln known as a lehr. [1]

  7. History of glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_glass

    A very important advance in glass manufacture was the technique of adding lead oxide to the molten glass; this improved the appearance of the glass and made it easier to melt using sea-coal as a furnace fuel. This technique also increased the "working period" of the glass, making it easier to manipulate.
