Abstract
The undulation of hot-moulded glass is avoided when the cooling of the glass edge layers in the first phase of the moulding operation is delayed and is accelerated after completed moulding. This is achieved by using a mould of a glassy carbon having a porous structure. Prior to the moulding, the pores are filled with a gas-forming liquid or a gas. The resulting gas film between the glass and the surface of the mould is removed ater completed moulding. The pores may subsequently be filled with a cooling agent.
