  • Publication number: 20200140314
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an alkali-free glass substrate capable of manufacturing an alkali-free glass substrate having a higher strain point by decreasing the ?-OH value of the glass is provided. The method for manufacturing an alkali-free glass substrate is a method for continuously manufacturing a SiO2—Al2O3—RO (RO is one or more of MgO, CaO, BaO, SrO, and ZnO) based alkali-free glass substrate, which includes a step of preparing a raw material batch containing a tin compound and substantially not containing an arsenic compound or an antimony compound, a step of electric melting the prepared raw material batch in a melting furnace capable of conducting electric heating by a molybdenum electrode, and a step of forming the molten glass into a plate shape by a downdraw method.
