Zusammenfassung: | A method of manufacturing practically stria-free, bubble-free, and homogeneous quartz-glass plates of any desired configuration and with a surface area that exceeds the cross-section of the full circular quartz-glass cylinder that is employed as a starting material. The cylinder is continuously lowered into a furnace shell flooded with an inert gas, in which it is heated to a flowing temperature in the range of 1700 DEG to 1900 DEG C. until some of the quartz-glass flows off into a graphite crucible. The crucible is preferably clad with zirconium-oxide. |
