In recent years, research and development of precision press technology for use as lenses, prisms and the like immediately after press molding without a polishing step have been vigorously carried out. The center of its development is to maintain the material of the mold and its high surface accuracy, and molds of various materials have been tested and reported. Further, in order to maintain the surface accuracy, for example, to prevent oxidation, JP-A-52-4
5613 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-39846, a nitrogen atmosphere, Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-38126, a nitrogen + hydrogen atmosphere, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-120425, a vacuum + inert gas such as nitrogen. In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 116136, there is a device such as adjusting the atmosphere such as high vacuum. As a matter of course, from the viewpoint of preventing oxidation of the molding die and maintaining surface accuracy, it is desirable to hold the molding die at a temperature as low as possible. For that purpose, the glass to be precision press-molded is required to be press-molded at a low temperature, while the molding temperature of the glass is determined with reference to the yield temperature (At) in the linear expansion measurement of the glass.

Although SiO2 related to the present invention is a main component constituting the glass network, if it is less than 23% by weight, the devitrification tendency becomes large, and if it exceeds 34% by weight, not only the viscosity at the time of melting becomes large, but also the yielding temperature increases.

TiO2, Nb2O5 and PbO each have the effect of increasing the refractive index, and by properly combining two or more of them, glass having the intended purpose can be obtained.
If the total amount of two or more kinds of bO is less than 25% by weight and more than 50% by weight, the target refractive index cannot be obtained. In addition, each component contains 20% by weight of TiO2 and 14% by weight of Nb2O5.
If the amount is larger, the yield temperature (At) is increased, and if the amount of PbO is more than 45% by weight, volatilization of lead during press molding makes it difficult to maintain the surface accuracy and increases the specific gravity.

Li2O is a component having an important meaning in the present invention,
By adding an appropriate amount of Li2O as an essential component, it has the effect of significantly lowering the temperature during press molding without impairing the stability of the glass. If the amount of Li2O is less than 0.5% by weight, the above effect is small, and if it is more than 5% by weight, the devitrification tendency is increased.

Na2O and K2O also contribute to the temperature drop during press molding, but when Na2O is more than 9% by weight and K2O is more than 10% by weight, not only the devitrification tendency increases but also the chemical durability deteriorates.

BaO and ZnO are optional compounding ingredients.
Contributes to the stabilization of the glass, but if it exceeds 12% by weight, the devitrification tendency increases. ZnO improves chemical durability and is good for lowering the press molding temperature, but if it exceeds 8% by weight, the devitrification tendency becomes large.

In the optical glass of the present invention, the glass raw materials were mixed in the ratios shown in Table 2, and then the batch was put into a platinum crucible and heated in an electric furnace.
It is melted at 00 to 1200 ° C., stirred with a stirring rod made of platinum, clarified and homogenized, cast in a mold preheated to an appropriate temperature, and then gradually cooled. As described above, the glass of the present invention has a yield temperature (At) of 570 ° C. or lower and 1.
It has a high refractive index of 690 to 1.725, a specific gravity of 4.0 or less, is stable against devitrification, and can be favorably manufactured on an industrial scale. As can be seen from Table 2, the optical glass of the present invention has a deformation temperature of 560 ° C. or lower even in Examples 1, 3 and 4 containing no PbO, and Examples 2, 5, 6 and 7 containing PbO. So the yield temperature is 480
It is extremely low, below ℃. In the case of the optical glass of the present invention, precision press molding can be performed at a temperature 30 to 50 ° C. higher than the yielding temperature, so that precision press molding can be performed at a temperature as low as 620 ° C. or less as a whole. The precision press molding temperature is slightly different depending on the pressing pressure, but in the case of the glasses of Examples 1 to 7 in Table 2, it is 590, 510, 580, 590, 490 and 450, respectively.
Precision press molding can be performed at a temperature of about 460 ° C. Further, the glass of the present invention can be used as a general optical glass without any problem. It should be noted that addition of a small amount of As2O3 for preventing decoloration of glass and defoaming, or addition of a small amount of defoaming component well known in industry does not affect the effect of the present invention.
