Toughened Glass
Toughened Glass
“Tested glass” is glass that has been heated to a certain temperature to make it more durable. To make toughened glass, you have to cool annealed glass to a temperature of about 6500C quickly. To make things even stronger, it is annealed four times as hard.
Because the glass is heated up and quickly cooled down, it has different physical properties because of this treatment. This compression stress on the surface of the glass makes the glass stronger when it bends. Before the glass can be hardened, it must be cut or pressed into the shape you want.
These are the things that make Toughened Glass so good.
- Toughening doesn’t change the basic properties of glass, like how much light can pass through and how much heat can be reflected. It can’t be cut or changed.
- Thermal strength has made this glass more durable. It can withstand temperatures up to 250 degrees Celsius because it is stronger than normal glass.
- In the event of a break, a type of safety glass called “toughened glass” breaks into small, blunt pieces.
Why Is Toughened Glass Important?
As a result, toughened glass is good for things that need both strength and thermal resistance.
- Because its small pieces make it less likely to hurt itself when it breaks, it is almost four to five times more resistant to annealing than heat-strengthened glass and three times as strong as heat-treated glass.
- Tempered glass has a lot of strength on the edges, making it great for spider and point-fixed glass. While annealed glass can break when the temperature changes significantly, toughened glass has a stronger edge to keep it from breaking.
