Abstract
The process of glass solidification is analyzed in the context of the fundamental principles of physicochemical kinetics. The concept of the emergence of “solidification seeds”, formation of “solidification layers” and their migration into the glass volume are discussed. It is demonstrated that the level of diathermancy of tinted glasses can characterize the force of the interaction between the colorant complexes and the main silicon-oxygen elements in glass and, consequently, can influence viscosity variation in solidifying. The proposed theoretical principles agree well with experimental and industrial data.
