Abstract
A fluid jet with 50% by weight of aluminum oxide is used to polish float glass. Both water cut edges and holes as well as drilled holes are polished. Using a pressure of 3.5 MPa, a 1.26 mm nozzle and 64 passes of the jet over the surface a bright appearance is achieved. The polishing result is evaluated both with the naked eye and an optical profiler. During mechanical testing of untreated holes it was found that a drilled hole can withstand 20% higher forces than a water cut hole before failure. The condition of the edge where the tensile stresses appear is very important and future work includes polishing this edge. © 2012 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved.
