A laminated glazing comprising a first ply of glazing material and a second ply of glazing material joined by at least one ply of adhesive interlayer material is disclosed. The first ply of glazing material comprises a sheet of glass having a first composition and the second ply of glazing material comprises a sheet of glass having a second composition different to the first composition. The laminated glazing has (i) a peripheral region extending around the periphery of the laminated glazing, the laminated glazing having a surface compression stress in the peripheral region and (ii) an edge compression, wherein the magnitude of edge compression is greater than the magnitude of the surface compression stress in the peripheral region. A method of making such a laminated is provided. A glass sheet suitable for being incorporated in such a laminated glazing is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to the field of forehearth frits, pearls, and/or concentrates for use in glass compositions. In particular, the present invention provides a system of forehearth frits, pearls, and/or concentrates that is capable of parting a fluorescent effect to a glass composition by adding a fluorescent glass fit, pearl or concentrate in the forehearth of a glass furnace, to form fluorescent glass and a method of using the fluorescent system of forehearth frits, pearls, and/or concentrates.

A glass powder is a glass powder comprising vanadium-tellurium-silver, which has a softening temperature of 230-330° C. and a median particle size of 1-2 μm; when the glass powder is applied to the silver paste, the requirement that the silver paste is sintered at the temperature of 230-400° C. can be met, and a firm three-dimensional network structure can be formed in the glass system after the silver paste is sintered, and the welding tension of a front silver electrode can be improved; the addition of other metal elements to the glass powder can enable the network structure of the glass powder to be more compact and complete and ensure the stability of the glass powder; the prepared silver paste can be sintered at a temperature of 230-400° C.

A process of forming a sintered article includes heating a green portion of a tape of polycrystalline ceramic and/or minerals in organic binder at a binder removal zone to a temperature sufficient to pyrolyze the binder; horizontally conveying the portion of tape with organic binder removed from the binder removal zone to a sintering zone; and sintering polycrystalline ceramic and/or minerals of the portion of tape at the sintering zone, wherein the tape simultaneously extends through the removal and sintering zones.

In one example, a solver engine may execute a reverse calculation to determine a recipe ingredient set based on a goal descriptor describing a ceramic glaze. A descriptor interface of the solver engine may receive a goal descriptor describing a ceramic glaze. A model applicator of the solver engine may apply a glaze process model to the goal descriptor. The model applicator may automatically reverse calculate a glaze recipe describing a recipe ingredient set to produce the ceramic glaze described by the goal descriptor. A glaze mixing machine interface may direct a glaze mixing machine to mix the recipe ingredient set to produce the ceramic glaze.

The present invention relates to electrothermic composite material comprising an electrothermic layer on a substrate, wherein the electrothermic layer comprises glass having a carbon component dispersed throughout, wherein the glass, the carbon component, and their relative concentrations are selected such that the electrothermic layer resists delamination from the substrate over repeated electrical heating and cooling cycles. Methods and uses of the composite materials are also described.

A lead-free glass paste, a chip resistor and a method for producing the same are provided. The lead-free glass paste includes 6-7 parts by mass of borosilicate oil, 12-21 parts by mass of aluminum oxide powder, 2-3 parts by mass of glass fiber powder, and 0.1-0.5 parts by mass of a curing agent.

A high-tension busbar silver paste applied to the N-type solar cell is prepared by mixing a silver powder (a mixture of a spherical silver powder A having a median particle size of 700-900 nm and a tapped density of 5-6 g/mL and a spherical silver powder B having a medium particle size of 280-450 nm and a tapped density of 4-5 g/mL), an organic vehicle (a mixture of 3-5 wt % of polyvinyl butyral resin and 5-10 wt % of acrylic resin as a main resin) and a glass powder (copper-bismuth-manganese-tellurium series glass powder having a medium particle size of 0.7-1 μm and a softening temperature of 600-800° C.); the silver paste has large welding tension, in which the welding tension of the front busbar line is 4 N or more.
