Features: This book systematically elaborates on the series of physicochemical changes that occur in the two major glass processes—glass formulation and melting—as well as their impact on glass properties. The book introduces the characteristics and main properties of glass, discusses the design elements of glass composition and the properties and roles of glass raw materials, lists multiple glass formulation design methods, and provides examples of many new glass chemical compositions and practical glass formulations. The book also details the physicochemical changes during the glass melting process, introduces various glass melting furnace equipment and melting operation procedures, and discusses the causes of glass defects and methods to overcome them. The content is rich, the language is concise, the technical information is substantial, and the book is highly practical, making it particularly suitable for technicians engaged in glass processing and glass workshop management personnel. It can also serve as a textbook for students of inorganic non-metallic materials at universities and secondary specialized schools.
