ABSTRACT:
Bent sol-gel produced tubing is straightened by drawing, with tensile force and operating temperature to result in minimal plastic flow, so that size reduction is small. The method is usefully applied to reject recovery in the preparation of overclad tubes, which as encompassing closely-fitting core rods, form the composite preform from which optical fiber is drawn.
