Course content
1.-2. Optical properties of glass 3.-4. Chemical properties of glass 5-6 Glass cooling. 7-8 Cooling procedure 9-10 The main types of glasses 11.-12. Crystal glasses and glazes 13. Initial processing of glass The student will supplement his knowledge of glass with the optical and chemical properties of glass, which are important from the point of view of its practical use. The student will become familiar with the technological necessity of cooling practically all glass products after their shaping (it does not apply to glass fibers with a minimum thickness) and will be able to set the cooling parameters for the given product. Furthermore, the student will become familiar with technology and work procedures in the area of primary processing. Knowledge, respect and proper use of the extraordinary properties of glass is necessary for the successful implementation of the project and also enables effective consultation with glass experts.
