Two-step consolidation for large soot preforms

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

In so-called soot processes such as VAD, consolidation of porous soot preforms has been carried out in a high-temperature furnace. The soot preforms are heated continuously at a temperature high enough to fuse the glass particles until the preform becomes a pore-free transparent glass body.
