Description
~Tempered glass is a type of glass with even compressive stress on
the surface which is made by heating float glass to nearly
softening point and then cooling it down rapidly by air. During the
instant cooling process, the exterior of glass is solidified due to
rapid cooling while the interior of glass is cooled down relatively
slowly. This process will bring the glass surface compressive
stress and the interior tensile stress which can improve the
mechanical strength of glass and result in good thermal
stability.
Features:
Safety: Glass is not easy to be broken when attacked. Broken glass
particle is of honeycomb shape with obtuse angles which won't cause
severe hurt to human body.
High mechenical-resistant srength:Impact-resistant strength of
tempered glass is **5 times higher than that of float glass of the
same thickness.
Thermal stability : Thermal stability of tempered glass is 3 times
higher than that of float glass of the same thickness. Tempered
glass can withstand sudden temperature shift of **0℃***0℃ while
float glass can only withstand shift of *0℃***0℃. When tempered
glass suffers rapid cooling of a certain extent, the internal
tensile stress and compressive stress on the surface can offset due
to opposite stress direction. When tempered glass is heated
extremely, compressive stress is generated on the surface of glass
which is as double as tensile stress. Therefore, tempered glass
also can withstand certain level of rapid heating up.
Good flexibility :Deflection angle of tempered glass is **4 times
larger than that of float glass of the same thickness. When there
is load on tempered glass, its maximum tensile stress does not
located on the glass surface as float glass, but on the central
point of glass sheet.
