    Tempered Glass Application

    Tempered glass is a glass obtained by heating ordinary sheet glass to a quenching temperature (650–680° C), followed by rapid uniform cooling with cold air on both sides. As a result of this treatment, residual mechanical compressive stresses are formed in the surface layers of the glass, ensuring its increased mechanical strength, heat resistance, and safety during fracture. When broken, such glass breaks down into many small fragments with blunt edges that are not capable of causing serious injuries. A similar effect is proof of the high resilience of such glass. The evenly distributed impact energy for a relatively long time forms very small microcracks in the glass and allows to obtain small fragments. Thus, tempered glass has three main useful properties, each of which has its own meaning and application.

    Safety and mechanical strength of tempered glass are used in the construction, ware, shop windows, for the installation of fences, furniture, automotive and railway industry. Such property as heat resistance allows glazing buildings without the risk of thermal shock, especially for tinted glass. The only weak point of such sheet glass is vulnerability to impacts in the butt end since at this point residual stresses can easily break free and break the glass entirely. However, this effect also finds its application, being used in the design (for example three-layer tabletops or doors with the effect of “broken glass”).

     In the automotive industry, tempered glass is used to make a side or rear auto glass. The use of tempered glass as a windshield is prohibited (not sharp but small fragments can damage the eyes of the driver or passengers). For the production of windshields use triplex of unhardened silicate glass. Although triplexes made of tempered glass are much stronger, they have an important drawback: the rapid and complete loss of transparency due to cracking over the entire area from one strong blow. This, however, does not prevent them from being used in architecture. On the contrary, non-tempered triplex with cracks, for example, in a car, can even continue to be used for some time before replacement.
