Abstract: In a known method for drawing a tubular quartz glass strand, SiO2-containing starting material is fed to a melting crucible, softened therein into a viscous quartz glass mass (27), and said mass is pulled vertically downward as a cylindrical quartz glass strand (5; 33) through a die (4; 34) provided in the bottom region of the melting crucible (1), said die having a gap-shaped outlet (25; 36), which is defined by a bottom opening and a die inside part, and thereafter the quartz glass cylinder is cut to length.

Abstract: The invention relates to a known method for drawing a quartz glass cylinder from a melt crucible comprising an inner crucible chamber extending in the direction of a center crucible axis and bounded by a side wall and a floor, wherein SiO2 granulate is fed into the melt crucible and therein softened into a quartz glass mass, and said mass is drawn vertically downward as a cylindrical quartz glass strand by means of a first draw-off device through a first draw nozzle provided in the floor of the melt crucible, and the quartz glass cylinder is cut off therefrom.

Abstract: In a known method for coating a crucible for use at a high working temperature in a crucible drawing method for quartz glass, a base body wall of tungsten has applied thereto a protective layer containing a coating metal consisting of the group selected from iridium, rhenium, osmium and ruthenium. Starting therefrom, to provide a method for producing such a component exhibiting high corrosion resistance to the quartz glass melt at low material costs, it is suggested according to the invention that the protective layer should be produced from a layer material which contains tungsten and the coating metal, and in which the amount of the coating metal should be dimensioned such that it exceeds the limit amount of a coating metal-rich phase boundary of a solid mixture phase of tungsten and the coating metal, with the solid mixture phase being thermodynamically stable at the working temperature, by not more than 25 at. % (based on the total amount of tungsten and the coating metal in the layer material).

Abstract: In a known method for drawing a tubular quartz glass strand, a crucible is fed with SiO2-containing start material, the start material is softened in the crucible and, as a softened quartz glass mass, is drawn vertically downwards as a tubular quartz glass strand along a drawing axis through an annular gap between an outer member and an inner member, which is arranged in a through hole of the outer member, of a drawing nozzle provided in the bottom area of the crucible.
