The Science of Glass

In fused silica glass, much of the sodium oxide that has been added as flux has been replaced by boric oxide (b2o3), and some of the lime has been replaced by alumina. Though an excellent glass, fused silica is expensive due to the high cost of attaining the required temperature of above 3,092 degrees farenheit to melt sand (crystalline silica).
