Fibre Spinnability Of Glass Melts

Fibre spinnability is the ability of a glass-forming melt to be steadily stretched and spun into defect-free fibre filaments. However, its quantification has not been well-established owing to many controlling factors such as melt fragility, melt strength, surface tension, liquidus temperature, liquidus viscosity, and crystallization. To understand and quantify the fibre spinnability of a glass melt, this paper considers two key aspects: Fiberizing viscosity window and melt stability.
