  • Publication number: 20220396522
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a strengthened glass article includes forming a glass-to-glass laminate by fusing clad and core glasses, where the clad has greater high-temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (HTCTE) than the core but a lesser low-temperature coefficient of thermal expansion (LTCTE). The method includes cooling the laminate to impart stresses through contraction mismatch between the clad and core, where stresses in the laminate from HTCTE differences at least partially offset stresses in the laminate from LTCTE. After the cooling, the method includes modifying geometry of the laminate, then relaxing at least some of the stresses in the glass-to-glass laminate from differences in the HTCTE.

  • Publication number: 20220388889
    Abstract: Methods for providing feedback control of converters for converting glass tubes to glass articles include a model predictive control framework. The methods include operating the converter, providing target values for attributes of the glass articles or glass tubes, measuring the attributes for the glass articles and glass tubes, conditioning the measurement data to remove outlier data points and calculating statistics representative of the measured attributes, and determine updated settings for one or more process parameters from the previous settings, the statistical properties, and the target values, where the updated settings are those that minimize an objective control function for the converter. The methods further include adjusting the process parameters to the updated settings. The model predictive control framework enables feedback control of the converter that compensates for disturbances that act on the process.
