  • Method for making a curved glass-ceramic panel by bending a green glass panel to be ceramicized and apparatus for performing said method
    Publication number: 20020020192
    Abstract: The method of making a curved glass-ceramic panel by bending a green glass panel to be ceramicized avoids formation of stresses in the bending zone. The method includes performing the bending process in a heated chamber at a temperature of from 10° C. to 50° C. above a transformation temperature of the green glass panel to be bent; providing a forming body acting as a workpiece support (3) with a geometric shape according to a bend geometry of the glass-ceramic panel and tempering the forming body at the temperature of the heated chamber; bringing the forming body into effective mechanical contact with the green glass panel in a bending zone of the green glass panel to form a curved green glass panel and ceramicizing the curved green glass panel to form the curved glass-ceramic panel.
