GLASS-MELTING COMPONENT
The invention relates to the production of a glass-melting component (1) consisting of a refractory metal, at least some sections of a surface edge zone (2) of the glass-melting component (1) being compacted by being subjected to a local compressive stress, thus reducing their porosity in comparison to a section (3) of the volume which lies below the surface edge zone (2) and which has a residual porosity.
