Patent number: 11130700Abstract: A method of making a glass-ceramic article includes synthesizing a feedstock gel that includes a base oxide network comprising Na2O, CaO, and SiO2, in which a molar ratio of Na2O:CaO:SiO2 in the gel is 1:2:3, and then converting the feedstock gel into a glass-ceramic article such as a container or a partially-formed container. The conversion of the feedstock gel into a glass-ceramic container may be performed at a temperature that does not exceed 900° C. and may include the steps of pressing the feedstock gel into a compressed solid green-body, sintering the green-body into a solid monolithic body of a glass-ceramic material, deforming the solid monolithic glass-ceramic body into a glass-ceramic preform, and cooling the preform. A glass-ceramic article having a glass-ceramic material that has a molar ratio of Na2O:CaO:SiO2 that is 1:2:3 is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.Inventor: Scott P.

Patent number: 10710918Abstract: A method of making a hollow container-shaped glass article composed of soda-lime-silica glass includes forming a particulate feedstock comprised of pulverized soda-lime-silica cullet particles into a hollow monolithic glass container preform without melting the cullet particles. The hollow monolithic glass container preform has a container shape that includes a wall defining an interior containment space and an opening to the interior containment space and, upon formation, has a temperature above the glass transition temperature of the soda-lime-silica glass. The hollow monolithic glass container preform is eventually cooled into a hollow, amorphous soda-lime-silica glass article, such as a partially-formed container or a finished container, that retains the previously-established container shape.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.Inventors: Scott P Cooper, William Pinc, Olexander Manulyk

Patent number: 10590025Abstract: A glass precursor gel and a method of making a glass product from the glass precursor gel are disclosed. The glass precursor gel includes a bulk amorphous oxide-based matrix that is homogeneously chemically mixed and includes 30 mol % to 90 wt. % silica and at least one of the following: (A) 0.1 mol % to 25 mol % of one or more alkali oxides in sum total, (B) 0.1 mol % to 25 mol % of one or more alkaline earth oxides in sum total, (C) 1 mol % to 20 mol % boric oxide, (D) 5 mol % to 80 mol % lead oxide, or (E) 0.1 mol % to 10 mol % aluminum oxide. A method of making a glass product from the glass precursor gel involves obtaining the glass precursor gel, melting the glass precursor gel into molten glass, and forming the molten glass into a glass product.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc.Inventors: Scott P.
