Method for producing glass material

摘要

A method of producing a glass blank with a high rate and high efficiency of deposition on a starting member is provided. A raw material powder including silica-glass-containing particles is transferred with a carrier gas and supplied into a flame, and the raw material powder and the flame are sprayed on a starting member to deposit the raw material powder on the starting member and form a porous body. The porous body is consolidated by heating.
