Processing steps
Step Date Type Process Changes
#1 2010-06-01 mechanical Anorthositic glass has been crushed to grain sizes lower than 1 mm glass in powder with sub-mm grains
#2 2010-06-01 mechanical Anorthositic glass grains have been quartered and crushed to powder glass in powder
#3 2010-06-01 mechanical Glass powder has been sieved between 50 and 20 µm sieves Glass powder with grain size range between 20 and 50 µm
