DISTRIBUTION OF FRESHLY MELTED GLASS IN A GLASS BAND

摘要

The study analyzes the conditions of the distribution of the indicator (yttrium oxide introduced together with the batch) across and inside the glass band produced on top of molten metal. It is demonstrated that freshly melted tagged melt exists in the depth of the glass band in the form of luminescent layers, whose number increases with time, up to the uniform distribution of the indicator in the band. It is established that lateral convection in the glass melt has a determining effect on the distribution of tagged glass in the glass band.
