What is a glass-ceramic furnace?

A glass ceramic furnace is a furnace made of glass ceramics.

Glass-ceramics, also known as glass ceramics, is a kind of composite material that combines crystal phase with glass after high temperature melting, molding and heat treatment. It has excellent properties such as high mechanical strength, adjustable thermal expansion, thermal shock resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and low dielectric loss.

Glass ceramics are widely used in mechanical manufacturing, optics, electronics and microelectronics, aerospace, chemistry, industry, biomedicine and architecture.

Application of glass-ceramics in machinery

Using the mechanical and thermal properties of glass ceramics, such as high temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance and adjustable thermal expansion, various materials that meet the requirements of mechanical mechanics can be manufactured.

Using the machinability and orientation of mica, glass-ceramics with high strength and machinability can be prepared. As mechanical materials, glass ceramics can be widely used in pistons, rotating blades and cookers, and can also be used as structural materials for airplanes, rockets and artificial satellites.

Application of glass ceramics in optics

Low expansion and zero expansion glass-ceramics are insensitive to temperature changes, and can be used in fields where temperature changes but dimensional stability is required, such as telescopes and laser housings.

Compared with zirconia, the low expansion lithium-based glass ceramics used in optical fiber connectors are more compatible with the corresponding glass fibers in terms of thermal expansion coefficient and hardness, easy for precision machining, and have good environmental stability.
