Pressure Forming of Automotive Glass and Challenges for Glass-Ceramic Enamels

Dr. George E. Sakoske, Dr. Joe Ryan, Mr. Gerhard Tünker, Mr. Oliver HeitmanDr. V. Romanov, Mr. Dave

Automotive glass pressure forming parameters
and glass-ceramic enamel performance requir-ements
are reviewed. ?Deep bend? forming
processes require ever more demanding anti-stick
behavior from the enamel. Experimental results
are presented for the pressing of trials within
and exceeding current time, temperature, and
pressure manufacturing limits. Anti-stick release
force measurements, developments, and advan-tages
of new enamel technologies are discussed.
