Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process for preparing a quartz glass body comprising the process steps i.) Providing a silicon dioxide granulate, ii.) Making a glass melt from the silicon dioxide granulate in a melting crucible, and iii.) Making a quartz glass body from at least a part of the glass melt, wherein the melting crucible is comprised in an oven and is made of at least one material comprising tungsten or molybdenum or a combination thereof. The invention further relates to a quartz glass body which can be obtained by this process. Further, the invention relates to a light guide, an illuminant and a formed body, each of which can be obtained by processing the quartz glass body further.
