On the Interrelation of Surface Tension and Viscosity for Glass Melts

  • Published:
Glass and Ceramics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The interrelation of the surface tension and viscosity of glass melts is examined from the physical-chemical and technological standpoints. The corresponding relations and experimental results are presented. The interrelation of the surface tension and viscosity is also examined for technological processes: glassmaking, interaction of molten glass with refractories, formation of different types of glass articles, thermal polishing and edge melting of articles and foaming during the production of foam glass.
