Glass tempering technology

Glass tempering technology To make ordinary glass more resistant to shock loads, temperature changes, and also safer in the event of destruction, special high-temperature treatment is applied to it, followed by cooling - quenching. As a result of quenching, constant stresses remain in the glass material, due to which glass loses its uniformity and acquires new properties. The specific properties of tempered glass Hardened glass can not be drilled or cut - it will lead to its destruction due to the presence of internal stresses. Due to the use of glass hardening technology, it becomes 5-10 times stronger to shock loads and much more resistant to destruction due to temperature differences than ordinary glass. If tempered glass is broken, it does not carry a danger of injury to a person, since its fragments are small, with blunt edges, which cannot be cut. If you break the usual glass, formed large fragments with sharp edges, very traumatic. Glass tempering technology Use ...

Glass bending

Glass - the most popular material that is widely used in the manufacture of dishes, decor and finishing materials. Any of us, looking around us, will be able to see not only standard windows, but also shelves, doors, interior partitions and even furniture. In the modern world, production technologies have long combined the aesthetic side of a product with a practical one, but it is very difficult to surprise such sophisticated consumers. Therefore, those customers who want a certain highlight and exclusivity, come to the rescue of such technology as glass bending, which allows to maximize the boundaries of the use of this material, creating products that are unique in their appearance and shape, which are able to attract the attention of more than one pair of eyes. Glass bending methods Today, glass bending technology allows to obtain the maximum range of various forms of brittle material and at the same time it is flexible, while maintaining its strength. To obtain the specif...

Glass recycling

Glass  Glass is one of the most popular materials, which has found its application in many industrial sectors, science and everyday life. Aesthetic qualities and the absence of toxicity contribute to the active distribution of the material. However, the only drawback of simple glass products is their fragility, especially with regard to mechanical impact. But, despite this, the number of glass products is constantly growing, just like the amount of cullet with which it is necessary to fight, since in nature itself it practically does not disintegrate. It is for these reasons that glass recycling is one of the most important pressing issues, which not only improves the state of the environment, but also makes it possible to lower the cost of manufactured products. Glass  In modern conditions, utilization and processing of glass breakage is a young and actively developing industry, the advantages of which are obvious: • low cost of recycled materials; • ...

Laser engraved glass

One of the most effective and modern methods of decorative glass processing is laser processing. It is performed on high-tech CNC laser machines that allow you to apply high-precision images on any glass and mirror surface, as well as create three-dimensional images inside the glass blank. The machine for performing laser engraving on glass is called a laser engraver - modern engravers allow you to work not only with glass, but also with mirrors, metals, plastic, plexiglass and other materials. The laser engraver is equipped with a radiator that projects a laser beam with specified characteristics onto a work surface - a glass blank. An image is loaded into the program module of the machine that needs to be applied to the workpiece, and the operating parameters — glass thickness, type of engraving (simple surface or internal volumetric), and other characteristics. Thanks to the automatic control, the laser beam makes an exact movement along a predetermined trajectory with a deviatio...

The history of tempered glass

Ordinary glass appeared in ancient Egypt, and who was the inventor of this popular and useful material is no longer known, as well as unknown who invented the wheel. But if we consider the history of how tempered glass appeared, then there is a clear pattern of how the most ordinary materials evolve under the influence of the needs of civilization. As a result of the research, SSG engineers in 1929 developed a special technology in which glass warmed up above the softening temperature and then rapidly cooled by jets of cold air. As a result of this procedure, the outer surface of the glass was cooled much faster than the inner surface and this gave rise to the residual compressive stress in the inner layers of the glass. Due to this residual stress, glass acquires a higher resistance to mechanical damage, and in the case of damage, again due to the fact that there is excess stress in the glass, it breaks into many small fragments that do not have sharp edges that are formed when ord...

Scopes of tempered glass

Due to the properties of the material, tempered glass sheets are characterized by increased resistance to attempts to damage them. If you try to break the glass, the last hardening, you can find that it breaks into fragments with blunt edges, which can not injure the skin. This is the safety of the material. tempered glass  The hardening process is carried out on special equipment by means of strong heating of the glass, which, when it reaches a certain temperature, is subjected to instant cooling, which gives the desired effect. Moving from a moving mass to a solid, the glass structure is accompanied by a change in its physical parameters, since the bonds of the molecular level in it become stronger. With the help of this technology, the formation of compression stress points in the glass structure is realized, due to which glass becomes mechanically more durable and capable of withstanding significant temperatures without damage, as well as sudden temperature fluctuations...

Variants of glass partitions

Glass partitions are a real salvation for small and non-spacious houses, but often the question arises how to arrange such partitions. Fortunately, the design world does not stand still, and thanks to modern glass making technologies, you can have the following options for glass partitions: glass partition First variant Clear glass is appropriate in all rooms and styles, but not everyone likes accessibility for an overview of what is desirable to hide. So completely transparent partitions are used most often in those premises that do not require exceptional confidentiality. Transparent glass partition sets the boundaries of the home workplace. Second variant Frosted glass is usually divided into calm and discreet rooms. This type of partitions is considered the most versatile and suitable for any style: from high-tech to country. Partition of frosted glass in a studio apartment. Third variant Colored glass partitions are an original way of zoning a room. Of course, bright ...
