Abstract
A method of forming a glass ribbon includes flowing a molten glass into a caster having a width (W) and a thickness (T) to form a cast glass, cooling the cast glass in the caster to a viscosity of 10Poise or more, conveying the cast glass from the caster, volumetrically heating the cast glass to an average viscosity of 10Poise or less using a gyrotron microwave heating device, and drawing the cast glass into a glass ribbon having a width (W) that is less than or equal to the width (W) of the caster and a thickness (T) that is less than the thickness (T) of the caster.
