Abstract

The invention provides a low-cost high-precision molding optical glass, with density below 4.54 g/cm 3 , refractive index ranging from 1.85 to 1.95, Abbe number ranging from 25 to 35 and transition temperature lower than 610° C. Expensive Ta 2 O 5 is not added in the invention, so the production cost is saved, and resource saving is realized; the combination of B 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 effectively improves the devitrification resistance and the chemical stability of glass; the combination of WO 3 and TiO 2 allows the staining degree of the optical glass to be excellent; and the combination of Gd 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 effectively improves the devitrification resistance of the glass.
