Method for flame abrasion of glass preform

摘要

The present invention relates to a process wherein a large glass preform is flame abraded to have a clear and smooth surface. In particular, the present invention pertains to a method for flame abrading a surface of a rotating glass preform by an oxyhydrogen flame which moves along a length of the glass preform, in which a movement velocity of the oxyhydrogen flame or a flow rate of oxyhydrogen of the oxyhydrogen flame is varied to conduct the flame abrasion treatment.
