ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to glass filament production. Conventionally the hollow cooling tubes and/or metal bars utilized in the making of continuous glass fibers have been constructed of high temperature corrosion resistant materials whose costs are exorbitant for extensive present day factory operations. The present invention dramatically reduces the price of cooling tubes 24 suitable for use in the making of glass filaments by coating or cladding a relatively inexpensive base or substrate metal 48 such as copper or refractory metal such as nickel, Inconel or molybdenum, and alloys thereof with a high temperature corrosion resistant material 50 such as the noble metals, e.g., platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, gold, silver or alloys thereof. Fins 52 which may be attached to the cooling tubes 24 may be made either of a solid noble metal or may also be coated or clad in the same manner as the cooling tubes 24.
