METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CERAMIZABLE GREEN GLASS COMPONENT, AND CERAMIZABLE GREEN GLASS COMPONENT, AND GLASS CERAMIC ARTICLE

摘要

A method for producing ceramizable green glass components provided, as well as apparatus for performing such method and ceramizable green glass components producible by such method. The method is a redrawing process in which a preform is heated, in a deformation zone, to a temperature that enables redrawing of the glass. The deformation zone is particularly small, which permits redrawing of the ceramizable green glass bodies while avoiding ceramization during the redrawing. The method provides plate-like or sheet-like green glass components that have a particularly smooth surface.
