  • Fusion processes for producing sheet glass
    Publication number: 20030121287
    Abstract: Methods are provided for controlling the formation of defects in sheet glass produced by a fusion process which employs a zircon isopipe. The methods comprise controlling the temperature profile of the glass as it passes over the isopipe so as to minimize both the amount of zirconia which diffuses into the glass at the top of the isopipe and the amount of zircon which comes out of solution at the bottom of the isopipe.
