Abstract:

In this study, the main thermal, structural and mechanical properties of optical glass materials were investigated by conventional glass melting method. The thermal properties of optical glass materials are important in that they constitute the first steps towards the investigation of other physical and chemical properties. According to the thermal properties of the material, the glass transition temperature, Tg, increases for different glass compositions. The XRD, XRF, FT-IR and hardness properties of the obtained optical glass materials were determined experimentally in terms of their structural and mechanical properties for their suitability for potential applications. XRD spectra obtained without heat treatment of glass materials show that the material structure is amorphous. In the same way, Vicker’s hardness values of the glassware increase relative to the different glass compositions, resulting in a result that the material is influenced by the bonds between the constituents of the chemical components.
