| 摘要 |
A near-net or net shape fused silica glass article, such as a radome. The article is formed by depositing silica soot onto a mandrel having a shape that corresponds to the shape of the fused silica glass article. In some embodiments, the mandrel is inductively heated to a temperature that is sufficient to consolidate or sinter the silica soot upon deposition onto the mandrel to form fused silica glass. The fused silica glass article may have an outer layer that is under compression and/or multiple layers comprising various dopants that can alter or affect physical, mechanical, electrical, and/or optical properties. |
