Triangle Clear Borosilicate Glass Rod

The process of making a triangular glass rod can follow these steps: Preheating: First, place one end of the rod in the flame for preheating. The purpose of preheating is to gradually increase the temperature of the glass rod, avoiding sudden high temperatures that could the rod to break.

Melting: Continue heating one end of the glass rod until it melts into a small round ball. During this process, keep rotating the rod to ensure the ball is evenly heated.

Shaping: When the ball reaches the appropriate softness, use tools (such as a graphite press or a light plate) to flatten it and shape it into the desired triangular form. During shaping, continuously adjust the flame temperature and the angle of the glass rod to ensure precision and aesthetics of the shape.

Assembling: If you need to create complex patterns or structures, you can make several small parts separately and then assemble them. When assembling operate carefully to ensure each part is securely connected.

Cooling: After completing the shaping and assembling, slowly cool the glass rod to room temperature. During cooling, sudden temperature drops to prevent the rod from cracking.

Annealing: To eliminate internal stress in the glass rod, you can keep it at around 600°C for 20-35 minutes, then gradually cool it to room temperature. The annealing process helps improve the stability and durability of the glass rod. By these steps, you can successfully make a triangular glass rod. It’s important to be patient and meticulous throughout the process to ensure the quality and aesthetics of the final.
