Abstract
One objective of the present invention was to provide a method of continuously forming crystallized glass, so as to reduce the thermal treatment time necessary for crystallizing a belt-shaped glass plate; and to provide an apparatus of continuously forming crystallized glass, so as to shorten the thermal treatment zone necessary for crystallizing a belt-shaped glass plate. A method of continuously forming crystallized glass according to the present invention includes: a melting step of melting a raw glass material to obtain molten glass; a shaping step of rolling the molten glass to form a belt-shaped glass plate; a crystallizing step of retaining the belt-shaped glass plate at a temperature necessary for nuclei formation and crystal growth, thereby forming nuclei and crystallizing the belt-shaped glass plate to a belt-shaped crystallized glass plate, and then slowly cooling the belt-shaped crystallized glass plate; and a cutting step of cutting the belt-shaped crystallized glass plate.
