Abstract:

Glass molding press is an efficient and promising process for glass lens manufacturing. Molding temperature and velocity are crucial factors for pressing, and the annealing rate directly influences the residual stress and volume change of the final lens. The research contributes to studying the key factors that influence the quality of the molded lens. In the paper, by incorporating stress relaxation and structural relaxation of the viscoelastic material, numerical simulation is undertaken to determine the proper process parameters. Furthermore, the whole process of a spherical lens molding is simulated to predict the final residual stress and volume change, also the influence of different annealing rates is estimated.
