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 ...
