FUSED SILICA

     Fused silica is a high purity silicon dioxide is either transparent or  translucent. The nontransparent fused material contains a large number of microscopic bubbler that create a milky appearance causes by the scattering of light.  This material is sometimes called as a translucent fused silica. Fused silica  is available  in a number of grade for different  application. Fused silica is used for window, lenses prism and other application.

Fused  silica  should apply to any foam  of  vitreous  silica manufactured by fusion, however it has been used by some to denote all vitreous silica  not  produced  by quartz fusion and by other for only the translucent vitreous silica.

Method  for the manufacture of translucent fused silica by fusion of sand surrounding a graphite rod  through which a current is passed and subsequent manipulation of the hot plastic material were patented around the turn of century.
