- Tempered glass is a
safety glass that is used very commonly to serve many purposes.
- Tempered glass has
specific properties that make it ideal for many applications that
could be dangerous if tempered glass was not used.
- Tempered glass is
designed to be highly stronger and less likely to break than other
glasses.
- In the event tempered
glass does break, it shatters into hundreds of small, blunt
fragments to prevent serious damage from harmful sharp and jagged
edges.
- Tempered glass
is a heat resistant, making it 4 to 5 times stronger than any other
glasses and harder to break. It is often referred to as "safety
glass."
- Tempered glass
is used for car windows (side and rear), oven windows, house
windows, shower doors, and coffee makers.
- Tempered glass
is made strong by an extreme heat and then by rapid cooling process.
- The
manufacturing process is what sets tempered glass apart from other
types of glass. This same process is also what allows the tempered
glass to be heat resistant.
- Tempered glass is
about four times stronger than "ordinary," or annealed, glass.
Unlike annealed glass, which can shatter into jagged shards when
broken, tempered glass fractures into very small, relatively
harmless pieces.
- Tempered glass is used
in those environments where human safety is a big issue.
- Applications include
entrance doors, shower and tub enclosures, racquetball courts, patio
furniture and skylights.
- In the toughening
process, the surfaces of the glass are heated in a furnace.
- The recommended
temperatures may vary but the glass reaches temperatures of over
600°C.
- The hot glass is then
immediately cooled by a blast of air over a period of between 3 and
10 seconds.
- As a result, the
surfaces shrink and (at first) tensile stresses develop on the
surfaces. Once the bulk of the glass begins to cool, it contracts.
- Tempered glass is
being imported into the United States in increased quantities.
- Aftermarket demand is
weighted towards laminated rather than toughened glass.
- The tempering process
induces a superficial compressive residual stress state, closing the
surface flaws and hence increasing the strength.
- With increased
transportation facilities, the demand of the product is heavily
increasing and especially in the automobile industry,
railways, ships, building both for production and replacement.
